Listen to Gaute Einevoll talk about neuroscience and technology in these podcast episodes (Norwegian only):

On November 20th, Marte Julie Sætra successfully defended her PhD thesis "Computational modeling of ion concentration dynamics and metabolic oxygen consumption in brain tissue."

On October 21st, Mikkel Elle Lepperød successfully defended his PhD thesis “Dissecting neuronal circuits for navigation in experiments and models.”

On September 25th, Charlotte Christensen successfully defended her PhD thesis “Balancing stability and plasticity - perturbations of extracellular matrix and inhibitory activity in the mature grid cell network.”

Researchers at the University of Oslo and Oslo University Hospital have discovered how destructive changes occur in our genome. This could lead to cancer. Their results have been published in the journal Nature Cell Biology.

OCBE (Oslo Centre for Biostatistics and Epidemiology) provides statistical and epidemiological advising in COVID-19 projects for researchers and students of the Medical Faculty of the University of Oslo, of the Oslo University Hospital and of South-Eastern Norway Regional Health Authority (HSØ).

We are also happy to support other national and international projects. 

PI Gareth Sullivan has co-authored a new publication on Synthetic Analyses of Single-Cell Transcriptomes from Multiple Brain Organoids and Fetal Brain

Vaccines can be far more targeted and effective than they are today. A new method will allow us to develop new vaccines more cheaply and efficiently and perhaps get one step ahead of bacteria.

Stefan Krauss, Hanne Scholz, Steven Wilson and Carl Henrik Gørbitz have written an article on the centre's work on developing organ on a chip technology in Aftenposten.

An article entitled “m6A RNA modification as a new player in R-loop regulation”, by the Dynamic Gene Regulation research group led by Arne Klungland at IMB, was published in the January edition of Nature Genetics.

'Seminar on novel probes and AI technology for brain-machine interfaces'

We are excited to announce two seminars on January 16th and the defense of Alessio Buccino on the 17th, all in Bikuben, Kristine Bonnevies' hus, Blindern.

Hanne Scholz is one of the editors for the upcoming Frontiers in Genetics Research issue on the topic: Beta-Cell Fate: From Gene Circuits to Disease Mechanisms.

Doctoral candidate Alessio Paolo Buccino at the Department of Informatics, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, is defending the thesis“A computationally-assisted approach to neural extracellular electrophysiology with multi-electrode arrays”for the degree of Philosophiae Doctor.

If you want to maintain a stabile weight, reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and some types of cancer, then daily consumption of nuts is recommended, not only for Christmas, but all year round.

Aortic valve calcification is a challenging condition for the health service and for the patients concerned. The only treatment currently available is surgery. Mariia Boganova recently defended her thesis which addresses the options available for future pharmacological treatment.

Southern and Eastern Norway Regional Health Authority have awarded Hybrid Technology Hub members Jo Waaler and Stefan a grant of 1 000 000 NOK for theproject "Tankyrase Inhibiton in Cancer Immunotherapy"

Position as PhD Research Fellow available at the Department of Biosciences.

Gaute Einevoll has started a new podcast called "Vett og vitenskap".

Young people who eat breakfast and lunch generally eat more healthily during the course of the day. These are the results of a study which was conducted by researchers at the Department.

Center members Frøydis Skottvoll, Simon Rayner, Gareth Sullivan, Stefan Krauss, Steven Ray Wilson and Sean Harrison have a new publication in the journal Electrophoreses, titled: 3D cell culture models and organ‐on‐a‐chip: Meet separation science and mass spectrometry

A new study published in JAMA Dermatology,  shows a clear association between number of solarium sessions and SCC development.

This years 'Tidy-Up Week' at the institute is set for week 42, that is from Monday 14 October to Friday 18 October.

You will find a more detailed program and practical information here.

Earlier this year the Research Council of Norway (RCN) announced 270 MNOK for research on digital innovation, of which a CINPLA group has been awarded 16 MNOK for a new project.

Congratulations to four members of CINPLA for their award winning poster presentations this summer, in Norway and in Spain.
