With more than 1300 delegates, the conference offers great networking opportunities through partner meetings, exciting speaker and panel sessions and a large exhibition area with representatives from all relevant sectors of life science, including academia, investors, relevant businesses and policy agencies.
Projects that wish to attend can apply for travel support of 5000 NOK for one person per project. We will also assist with producing promotional material for the project (one pagers).
Volterra Lecture: Christopher Voigt - Programming Cells
We are excited to welcome MIT-Professor Chris Voigt to our Volterra Lecture Series. He will lecture in Oslo May 7, Trondheim May 9 and Bergen May 10. Don't miss your opportunity to hear Prof. Voigt's take on how to use
computational operations to manipulate cells.
- I think this is the century of genetic engineering, says Chris Voigt. Get a peek into his lab at MIT in this short video.

Awarding of the Transdisciplinary Publication of the Year - 2018 was a close call. The Centre wish to acknowledge studies that result from the combined efforts of researchers from different disciplines. Two publications ended up having to share the prize for 2018: one from Double Intraperitoneal Artificial Pancreas (DIAP) and one from the dCod 1.0 project.
All research projects that are part of the Centre for Digital Life Norway can now apply for financial support to work with the innovation aspects of the project. There is a maximum amount of 50.000 nok per project, up to 8 projects.
The funding is for activities necessary to progress in the innovation process, such as: business idea scouting and/or definition, market validation, customer exploration, business modelling, partner search, development of research-based advice to practitioners or policy-makers, etc. The funding can be used for hiring external expertise or for costs related to traveling to meet with potential customers, users, partners etc.
The call is open and applications can be sent any time as long as there are funding left.
The BigInsight research project is inviting interested researchers to discuss novel clinical trial concepts for personalized cancer medicine, within fields such as systems medicine, mathematical oncology and bioinformatics.
Members of DLN and the Research School are invited to a workshop on how concepts from control engineering can be applied to understand regulation in biological systems and integration of engineered devices with such systems.
