NBS Symposium

The event is meant to be informal and fun and will include exciting new science from UiB (session 1), an innovation session (session 2) with visits from Maija Slaidina from Sarsia, Bengt-Erik Haug from KinSea Lead Discovery and Dorinde Kleinegris from Norce, and a keynote lecture held by Jan Terje Andersen from Oslo University Hospital. Jan Terje is a professor of biomedical innovation at the University of Oslo, and a research group leader at Oslo University Hospital. He heads the Laboratory of Adaptive Immunity and Homeostasis, which in addition to its great scientific output, has extensive collaborations with biotech and pharmaceutical companies. He is also the co-founder of the company Authera. Jan Terje is a great speaker and will talk about his research and his interest in innovation and commercialization. See the attached posters for an abstract of his talk.

In addition to the short talks, there will be a “reuse your old poster” - poster session. This session will be a great opportunity for everyone who wants to present and discuss their science. There will be a 1000 NOK poster prize for the best poster, and we will serve pizza (sponsored by the Bergen Biomedical Research School).

To make the day as fun as possible, we hope that many of you will sign up with your old posters, or just join as a participant. Everyone is welcome, students, PhDs and professors alike!

P.S. We also have one open spot for a 12 minute short talk in Session 1 if you are interested in presenting your research. Let us know when you register for the event.
