Dear all;
It has been hectic activity in our building the last days, relocating people in the different floors of the department. The administrative staff has moved from 6th floor to 7th floor, while scientific staff has been relocated according to which research unit they are belonging to. The process of moving permanent staff is now finished, while a few of the temporarily employed people (PhDs, post docs, others) still will be relocated. It must be said that the whole process has been as smooth as one can expect, and people have been showing a very positive attitude towards the whole process.
Further, I would like to highlight two ongoing projects in the INTPART programme, funded by NRC and coordinated by Scientific staff at IBM. INTPART was initiated with the aim to enhance collaboration between higher education institutions in Norway and their counterparts abroad, particularly focusing on countries of strategic importance.
The INTPART project «Partnership on Central Nervous System Malignancies» (Rolf Bjerkvig-coordinator) has participants from UiB, Shandong University (Jinan, China), Wuhan National Laboratory (China), and MD Anderson Cancer Center (Houston, TX). The overall objective is to develop outstanding research and education in Norway and abroad on malignant brain tumors. We have organized courses in tumor biology and imaging and performed staff and student exchanges between China and Norway. A 3-day final conference has just been arranged at Solstrand Fjordhotell with approximately 40 participants, focusing on courses in neuropathology, drug design, and scientific project achievements. The project finishes end of February 2024.
The INTPART project “VitaCross” (a training platform in systems medicine) has participants from UiB (Mathias Ziegler-coordinator), UiT, the University of South Alabama (Mitchell Cancer Center) and the University of Groningen (Medical Center). VitaCross organizes joint courses in systems biology, medicinal chemistry, cancer biology, computational modeling and other technologies. Two courses take place each year, as well as joint workshops and staff exchanges. Currently, we conduct a 2-week course in Bergen (at Eitri) on metabolic pathway analyses jointly with the Norwegian Research School on Bioinformatics, Biostatistics and Systems Biology (NORBIS). This project ends March 2026.
During the HMS Day at the Medical Faculty on Feb 21th, the “Work Environment Award” (Arbeidsmiljøprisen) for 2023 was awarded to Fellesavdelingen at IBM, for their outstanding efforts during the implementation of the OSKE exam. Congratulations! For more information, see https://www.uib.no/med/168779/teknisk-fellesavdeling-ved-ibm-ble-hedret-med-arbeidsmiljøpris.
Finally, this week is winter holiday, and I hope that all of you will have a nice week, whether you take a few days off, or you will be at work.
Best regards
Frits

Teknisk fellesavdeling ved IBM ble hedret med arbeidsmiljøpris
Under årets HMS-dag ved Det medisinske fakultet ble Teknisk fellesavdeling ved Institutt for biomedisin (IBM) vinnere av årets arbeidsmiljøpris. Fellesavdelingen mottar prisen for sin uvurderlige innsats under gjennomføringen av OSKE-eksamen.
Blant 10 nominerte kandidater var det Teknisk fellesavdeling ved IBM som stakk av med prisen for 2023.
I begrunnelsen skriver juryen følgende:
Fellesavdelingen ved IBM yter service langt utover eget institutt og har vært en helt sentral aktør i planlegging, rigging og gjennomføring av OSKE-eksamen i medisinstudiet tre ganger i året. De bidrar alltid inn i arbeidet med en imøtekommende og brukerorientert tilnærming og er ikke redde for å påta seg oppgaver og gå inn i nye problemstillinger. Et tydelig stikkord for hvordan måten fellesavdelingen jobber på er løsningsorientering.

Collaborative Software Development School 17th-28th of June 2024
Are you an early career researcher who want to use digital methods but not sure how to get started? This summer school is a great opportunity to learn about approaches and best practices in research software development in an interdisciplinary setting with many hands-on exercises.
The aim of this workshop is to introduce topics that go beyond the initial knowledge of reading and writing code. How do you design programs that are modular and reusable by others? How can libraries in different languages be used together? What are tools that can help in documenting and testing code? How can development and releases be managed in group projects with multiple authors and multiple users?
In a mixture of talks and many hands-on sessions we’ll try to address this next step. In the second half of the workshop, you will work in small groups on designing and writing a new project from scratch, giving you direct experience of having to rely on other people’s code.

Dementia – how do we prepare for the future?
Can music help delay the development of Alzheimer’s?
Dementia is Norway’s most expensive disease. With increasing life expectancy, the number of people with dementia rises rapidly. This means that we have to think differently about how we handle the aging population. For patients with Alzheimer’s, the most common form of dementia, life disappears because memory disappears. But music therapy can help them bring the memory back to life. Could this be an inexpensive measure that delays the development of the disease, improves the quality of life of both patients and relatives, and therefore saves the healthcare system large sums?

How to create a solid pitch for job opportunities or academic advancement
An elevator pitch is a brief description of yourself and/or your research. It should be so short that you have enough time to give an impression of yourself, while also being short, preferably no more than 30-60 seconds. It is important to have a plan and to have practiced in advance.

Healthy Working Habits: Time Management and Writing Motivation
This course will cover topics that deeply affect all researchers in and outside academia, and also transfer to other careers: time management and writing motivation. All disciplines and career stages are welcome.
Many researchers, at all career stages but especially early on, struggle with finding enough time to do everything. We work too much, we neglect our lives, we get burnt out – and we lose the passion for research that got us started. How do we develop healthy working habits and how can they renew a sustainable, positive relationship to our work?

Dear colleagues,
The last weeks the weather has been a bit rough, a perfect opportunity to stay indoors and get some work done. And work has been done!
Wednesday last week we handed in the EVALMEDHELSE self-evaluation forms to the Research Council of Norway. This evaluation takes place every 10 years and is extensive. We basically report on all the activities of the department and research groups/units the last 10 years. This includes the societal and sector impact of our work, strategy plans, collaborations, research, teaching, economy, funding, SWOT-analysis, how we comply with rules and regulations and much more. We delivered one report for the department, and six reports for six different research groups/units, plus a document with three impact cases. If you want to have a look at these documents, they can be found in the Teams channel “Institutt for biomedisin” → “EVALMEDHELSE” → “Documents submitted to NFR”. Gathering all the information needed and creating these documents (about 200 pages in total) was a real team effort. I would like to thank everybody that has contributed to this finished product, which I think turned out really good!
The accounting for 2023 for our department is now finalized. The budget for 2023 did not look good, but after taking several measures during the year we managed to end the year almost in balance (not including negative transfers from 2022)! Everybody contributed to this in different ways, and I think we should be very proud of this accomplishment!
The economy for 2024 will also be very strict, and our budget indicates big red numbers, but we will keep working hard and smart and improve as much as we think is possible and responsible.
We had the Dean, Per Bakke, visiting us at the faculty lunch two weeks ago. He talked about the economic situation at the faculty. Bottom line is that the faculty and departments must improve the economy quite a bit, and a project group is appointed with the mandate to suggest how. Frits Thorsen will be our representative in this project group. If you have input/ideas on how the economy can be improved, please approach him. This project group work starts today (February 5) and has May 15 as deadline.

Innføring i forskningsetikk
UiB har laget e-læringskurset «Innføring i forskningsetikk» som anbefales for alle ansatte i vitenskapelige stillinger:
https://mitt.uib.no/enroll/L4P4DJ.
Kurset skal bidra til å sikre god kjennskap til grunnleggende forskningsetiske normer og retningslinjer. Det finnes på norsk og engelsk og tar ca. 15 minutter å gjennomføre. God forskningsetikk er avgjørende både for forskningens kvalitet og integritet. Forskningsetikk er ikke bare et fundament, men også en nøkkel til å bevare tilliten til forskningen, både til enkeltforskere og UiB som institusjon.
Introduction to Research Ethics
UiB has created the e-learning course «Introduction to research ethics» which is recommended for all employees in scientific positions: https://mitt.uib.no/enroll/L4P4DJ
The course will help to ensure a good knowledge of basic research ethical norms and guidelines. It is available in Norwegian and English and takes approx. 15 minutes to complete. Good research ethics are crucial both for the quality and integrity of the research. Research ethics is not only a foundation, but also a key to maintaining trust in research, both for individual researchers and UiB as an institution.

Kunnskapsprat: Digital omstilling i UH-sektoren – status, muligheter og utfordringer
Hvor god er universitets- og høyskolesektoren til å utnytte digital teknologi for å heve kvaliteten og relevansen i utdanningen og forskningen? Hvordan står det til med den digitale kompetansen i sektoren? Velkommen til vår digitale kunnskapsprat, onsdag 7. februar kl. 10.00–11.00.
Vi inviterer til panelsamtale med sentrale aktører i utdanningssektoren, og går nærmere inn på flere aktuelle problemstillinger:
– I den digitale omstillingen jobber institusjonene mye med tekniske og organisatoriske tiltak, men: Hvordan jobbe for å fremme en digital omstilling som bidrar til å styrke fagene, forskningen, undervisningen og utdanningskvaliteten?
– Sektorens digitale kompetanse fremstår som relativt begrenset, viser kartleggingen, så hvordan bør sektoren jobbe med å løfte kompetansen blant egne ansatte?
– Institusjonene er positiv til å dele tjenester og produkter med andre. Hvilke nye muligheter gir dette for det videre arbeidet med digitalisering i UH-sektoren?
I panelet finner vi:
– Seunn Smith-Tønnesen, universitetsdirektør ved Universitetet i Agder (UIA) og nestleder i digitaliseringsstyret
– Stine Grønvold, prorektor for utdanning ved Høgskolen i Innlandet (HINN) og medlem i digitaliseringsstyret

Dear colleagues!
A new year has begun, and we have some productive months ahead! Winter may offer opportunities to use our skis and to get some cold and fresh air in our faces, and also some good working weeks while we are waiting for the light, warmth, and colours of spring.
Teaching and research are our main tasks, and the Medical faculty has announced this year’s prizes for nomination. As before, it will be given several prizes for research, innovation and education – see link in this newsletter about how to nominate! It is important that nominations should come from groups, networks, or departments, – not from individuals. Nominations should be sent to the department at the latest February 5.
From August, we will have 20 more medical students in the first year. For most of our teaching, it will be possible to do it as before, but we must use “videonotat” as a routine. We should also consider using alternatives to physical plenary teaching more (classical lectures). We do not know if or when the number of medical students will increase further, but it is necessary that we plan for such a situation.
Teaching is stimulating and motivating. I recommend that you consider the seminars from the faculty’s “Enhet for læring” (Center for Medical Education), “Pedagogisk påfyll”, for some inspiration! “Enhet for læring” also offers courses and other resources – have a look at their home page.
Another interesting opportunity is “Læringsfestivalen” at NTNU, which this year is arranged May 27.-28. On their home page, recordings of many of last year’s presentations are available. Have a look! And our own “Learning lab” at UiB also offers resources and recommendations for teaching!
-Arne.

Hjertestarter i Laboratoriebygget
Det finnes nå en hjertestarter på lab-bygget som er tilgjengelig, for alle.Du finner den på nederste hylle i skapet kalt «sikresonen» i lunsjområdet i 5te etasje.
Starteren er helautomatisk og veldig lett å bruke. Det er både tale og skjerm som viser hva du skal gjøre. Den har Norsk og Engelsk språk som enkelt endres ved å trykke på en knapp. Maskinen og elektrodene kan brukes på voksne og barn, men det er en bryter som må stilles på barn eller voksen. I bærevesken ligger det også en startpakke med saks, maske for munn til munn.

Course – Metabolic pathway analysis
Course description: This course will provide an introduction to the computational analysis and reconstruction of both small and genome-scale metabolic networks. The main goal is to familiarize students with relevant state-of-the-art computational tools and databases, as well as to provide the students with hands-on experience in metabolic modelling approaches. Furthermore, we will cover the mathematical basis of constraint-based analysis of genome-scale metabolic models and provide a foundation for stability and control analysis of dynamic models. Link to the course description: Metabolic pathway analysis
Prerequisites: Basic competence in a programming language (preferably Python) is expected. Basic knowledge in biochemistry, linear algebra and statistics are required.
Time: February 19th to March 1st, 2024. Please note that the course is two weeks.
Place: University of Bergen, Department of Biomedicine
Course responsible: Ines Heiland, Mathias Ziegler, and Suraj Sharma

Course responsible (emneansvarlige) – revised regulations 2024
The regulations for students and studies at the UiB has been revised, and the Medical faculty has accordingly revised our local regulations. You can find the local regulations here, with link to the UiB regulations: https://www.uib.no/med/167014/utfyllande-studiereglement-ved-det-medisinske-fakultet. See also:

Rekruttering av studenter fra 2023-kullet – Forskerlinjen høsten 2024
Ved Forskerlinjen er vi i full gang med å rekruttere studenter fra 2023-kullet med tanke på opptak på Forskerlinjen høsten 2024. Det er en absolutt fordel at aktive, interesserte studenter rekrutteres så tidlig som mulig i 2024, helst før sommerferien.
FORSKERLINJEN VED DET MEDISINSKE FAKULTET SØKER FORSKNINGSPROSJEKTER OG VEILEDERE TIL STUDENTER PÅ KULL 23
Til enhver tid er det ca. 75-80 studenter som går på forskerlinjen, dvs. ca. 10 % av studentene. Både studenter og veiledere melder tilbake om gode erfaringer og god forskning. Mange studenter er godt i gang med doktorgradsprosjekt. Vi har 17 plasser til disposisjon hvert år, 15 for medisin og 2 for odontologi. Med dette inviterer vi deg til å levere inn prosjektforslag. Det er viktig at prosjektene er av en slik karakter at de lar seg gjennomføre i forskerlinjeløpet. Potensielle forskerlinjestudenter er genuint interesserte, de er smarte og vitebegjærlige. MEN det er viktig å huske at de fleste er unge og uten forskningserfaring, noe som innebærer at de trenger tett oppfølging i startfasen. Husk at du skal vinne studentenes interesse og entusiasme for feltet og faget.
Forslag til prosjekter leveres inn via skjemaker: Innmelding av forskningsprosjekt for forskerlinjestudent (uib.no)
Frist for innlevering: 26. januar 2024.
«Mingledag» – Som i fjor ønsker vi å initiere større kontakt mellom studentene og forskningsmiljøene, og inviterer dere til å presentere dere på stands. Vi vil forsøke å dele dere inn etter institutt. Det vil bli satt opp postervegger i minglearealet på BBB en gang i februar, vi kommer tilbake til dato og klokkeslett. Tilbakemeldingene vi har fått på dette opplegget er svært bra, både fra studenter og forskere. Hvis du lurer på hva Forskerlinjen innebærer og hvilke fordeler og plikter en har som er veileder, så finner du informasjon på forskerlinjen sine nettsider.
