He is currently a Professor at the Institute of Transformative Bio-Molecules (WPI-ITbM) and the Graduate School of Bioagricultural Sciences at Nagoya University. \n\n\n\nResearch in the Yoshimura laboratory focuses on elucidating the molecular mechanisms of biological clocks in vertebrates. The uniqueness of his research lies in the use of wide range of vertebrate species\, including Japanese quail\, chicken\, hamster\, mouse\, macaque\, medaka\, and grass puffer. Through functional genomics approaches\, his group has uncovered key signal transduction pathways that regulate seasonal reproduction in vertebrates. \n\n\n\nHe serves as Vice President of the Japanese Society of Chronobiology and as a board member of the European Biological Rhythms Society. He is also currently Director of WPI-ITbM. \n\n\n\nUnraveling the mechanisms of seasonal and lunar rhythms in vertebrates\n\n\n\nThe celestial movements of the Sun\, Earth\, and Moon generate cyclical environmental changes that shape biological rhythms across species. For instance\, the spawning of grass puffers is tightly synchronized with the lunar cycle\, while many animals reproduce during specific seasons. Humans are no exception; the menstrual cycle is synchronized with new and full moons\, and cardiovascular disease\, influenza\, and depression become more severe in winter. However\, the mechanisms underlying these phenomena remain largely unknown. Although Drosophila and mice have provided profound insights into physiology and behavior\, they do not exhibit clear lunar or seasonal phenotypes. To overcome this limitation\, we have studied non-model organisms\, including quail and medaka\, and uncovered key signaling pathways that regulates seasonal rhythms. To further elucidate the molecular basis of seasonally regulated physiology and disease\, we analyzed seasonal transcriptome profiles of 80 tissues from macaques. This analysis revealed seasonal oscillations in genes associated with disease risk and drug efficacy. In addition\, we have identified a pheromone that triggers puffer to spawn on beaches during the spring tides. In this talk\, I will present our challenges to unravel the mechanisms underlying these enigmatic biological rhythms. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nHost: Leif Andersson leif.andersson@imbim.uu.se\, UU URL:https://www.scilifelab.se/event/the-svedberg-seminar-takashi-yoshimura/ LOCATION:BMC Room C8:301\, Husargatan 3\, Uppsala\, Sweden CATEGORIES:Event ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.scilifelab.se/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Picture1-The-Svedberg.png ORGANIZER;CN="The Svedberg Seminar Series":MAILTO:thesvedberg@scilifelab.uu.se END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Stockholm:20260601T151500 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Stockholm:20260601T161500 DTSTAMP:20260604T224646 CREATED:20260517T174504Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260526T092738Z UID:10001828-1780326900-1780330500@www.scilifelab.se SUMMARY: [The Svedberg & Spotlight] Genome Maintenance at Higher Resolution DESCRIPTION:Prof. Taekjip Ha\n\n\n\nHarvard Medical School & Boston Children’s HospitalDates:June 1 at 15:15 (The Svedberg seminar)Venue: A1:111a\, BMC\, UppsalaJune 2 at 15:15 (Spotlight seminar)Venue: Air&Fire\, Tomtebodavägen 23 A\, SolnaAbstract: My research program focuses on the theme of genome maintenance at higher resolution. Genome maintenance\, because the accurate duplication and repair of our genome is critical for a healthy life and for informing potential therapies for genetic diseases. Higher resolution\, because improved resolution in space and time—encompassing single-molecule\, single-cell\, and single-base-pair resolution—allows us to ask and answer questions inaccessible to traditional tools \n\n\n\nI will first discuss our discovery of homology search mechanisms in mammalian cells\, enabled by our very fast CRISPR technology that uses light to activate DNA cleavage by Cas9 with a time resolution of seconds\, several hundred-fold better than previous approaches. Here\, we found that a DNA motor protein called cohesin grabs and scans the RAD51 filament against the sister chromosome in search of a homologous sequence\, explaining how cells recover from a DNA break accurately and rapidly. \n\n\n\nIn the second part of the lecture\, I will present our MINFLUX nanoscopy studies of DNA replication machinery\, in particular the MCM complexes that act as replicative helicases. We visualize individual MCM complexes in cells and directly detect the double hexameric MCM (DH). During S phase\, a subset of DHs separates up to ~85 nm\, generating single MCM hexamers. Furthermore\, cohesin is dispensable for MCM loading but required to maintain replisome coupling during S phase. Together\, these findings establish cohesin as a versatile genomic architect\, actively driving chromatin scanning to preserve genome stability while orchestrating the precise spatiotemporal organization of the active replisome. \n\n\n\nBiography: Dr. Taekjip Ha is George D. Yancopoulos Professor of Pediatrics in honor Frederick W. Alt at Harvard Medical School and director and senior investigator of Program in Cellular and Molecular Medicine at Boston Children’s Hospital. He has been an investigator with the Howard Hughes Medical Institute since 2005. He received a bachelor’s in physics from Seoul National University in 1990 and Physics PhD from University of California at Berkeley in 1996.

He is a member of the National Academy of Science and the National Academy of Medicine\, and a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. He received Ho-Am Prize in Science (2011)\, Kazuhito Kinosita Award in single molecule biophysics (2018) and Barany Award for young investigators (2007). He was named Searle Scholar (2001) and Sloan Fellow (2003). He has served on Editorial Boards for Science (2011-present)\, Cell (2009-2020) and eLife (2014-2020). He co-chaired the National Academies committee on Toward Sequencing and Mapping of RNA Modifications (2022-2024). He served as President of the Biophysical Society (2023-2024). \n\n\n\nWebpage : https://www.tjhalab.com/Hosts:Sebastian Deindl\, UUHans Bloom\, KTH URL:https://www.scilifelab.se/event/genome-maintenance-at-higher-resolution/ CATEGORIES:Event ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.scilifelab.se/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Picture1-The-Svedberg-edited.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Stockholm:20260602T093000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Stockholm:20260602T103000 DTSTAMP:20260604T224646 CREATED:20260512T104307Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260512T104642Z UID:10001823-1780392600-1780396200@www.scilifelab.se SUMMARY:The good life of a science editor DESCRIPTION:Dr. Alejandro Montenegro-Montero\, Executive Editor at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press \n\n\n\nAbstract \n\n\n\nEditors at scientific journals occupy a unique position at the interface between research\, communication\, and community building. But what does the role actually involve\, and how does one move from the bench to a career in scientific publishing? \n\n\n\nIn this talk\, Dr. Alejandro Montenegro-Montero\, will provide an inside look at the life of a professional scientific editor. He will discuss the core responsibilities of the role\, which include managing peer review\, working with authors and reviewers\, developing journal strategy\, commissioning content\, and navigating complex ethical and integrity cases.

We welcome Thomas Weber\, ARISE fellow at EMBL to present “Interactive multi-dataset dashboards with Depictio: from creation to sharing through a public URL”. \n\n\n\nDate and time: June 2 at 10:00-11:00 Stockholm time (CEST)Speaker: Thomas Weber\, ARISE fellow at EMBL \n\n\n\nRegistration: Please register before June 2\, at 9.00 CEST. \n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\nAbstract \n\n\n\nAs expectations around open data sharing and interactive access to research outputs continue to grow\, researchers increasingly need ways to present their data as explorable dashboards rather than static figures. Depictio is an open-source platform that enables researchers to build multi-datasets dashboards through an intuitive graphical interface. Depictio can be downloaded and used locally on your computer or life science researchers at Swedish universities can create an instance online for free through SciLifeLab Serve. \n\n\n\nIn this webinar\, we will walk through the following steps: creating a project\, uploading multiple datasets\, such as tabular results and MultiQC reports\, and\, finally\, building a multi-tab dashboard that combines data from different sources into unified\, interactive visualizations. We will show how to create and layout Plotly-based components such as figures\, metrics cards\, tables and interactive components. Furthermore\, we will demonstrate Depictio’s private-to-public migration: develop your dashboard in a private instance\, then export and import it to a public instance on SciLifeLab Serve for public sharing. This webinar is aimed at life science researchers who produce data they want to visualize and share interactively\, whether from bioinformatics pipelines\, experimental workflows\, or other research outputs\, without building a full web application from scratch. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTools for AI/ML research in life sciences is an event series by the SciLifeLab Data Centre aimed at life science researchers who use data science and machine learning methods in their work. The goal of the events in this seminar series is to provide introductions to different tools for ML research but also to foster discussions around our practices and how they can be improved. We organise in-person workshops and webinars as part of the event series. The events are open to all researchers in Sweden and beyond\, regardless of SciLifeLab affiliation. \n\n\n\nContact: SciLifeLab Data Centre  serve@scilifelab.se URL:https://www.scilifelab.se/event/depictio_dashboards/ LOCATION:Online event via Zoom CATEGORIES:Event ORGANIZER;CN="SciLifeLab Data Centre":MAILTO:datacentre@scilifelab.se END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Stockholm:20260603T080000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Stockholm:20260603T170000 DTSTAMP:20260604T224646 CREATED:20260112T103449Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260603T110136Z UID:10001701-1780473600-1780506000@www.scilifelab.se SUMMARY:Cell Biology at Scale 2026 DESCRIPTION:The Cell Biology at Scale (CB@S) meeting is co-hosted by SciLifeLab\, the national research infrastructure for life science in Sweden\, and Biohub. This event aims to bring together researchers working at the interface of cell biology\, imaging\, functional genomics\, computational biology\, and artificial intelligence. \n\n\n\nRecent advances in multiplexed molecular profiling\, high-resolution imaging\, perturbation technologies\, and AI-driven modeling are changing how we study cells. Conducting cell biology at scale is not simply about increasing throughput. It represents a shift in how experiments are designed\, how data are integrated\, and how biological questions are formulated across molecular\, cellular\, and organismal levels. \n\n\n\nCB@S 2026\, a one-day symposium\, will focus on forward-looking perspectives: \n\n\n\n\nHow do we integrate multimodal cellular data?\n\n\n\nHow can modeling and AI help build predictive\, cell-scale theoretical frameworks?\n\n\n\nWhat experimental and computational strategies are still missing?\n\n\n\n\nThe symposium will be accessible both on site and via live stream. \n\n\n\nThe annual CB@S meetings started four years ago\, and so far\, all have taken place in the United States. Now for the first time\, the meeting will be hosted in Europe. Stockholm is an established international center for interdisciplinary life science research\, with strong environments in cell biology\, data-driven biology\, and technology development. \n\n\n\nThis event is kindly supported by Chan Zuckerberg Initiative and Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation. \n\n\n\nInvited Speakers \n\n\n\nAlexander van Oudenaarden\, Hubrecht InstituteAubrey Weigel\, Howard Hughes Medical InstituteFlorian Jug\, Human TechnopoleJan Funke\, Human TechnopoleJohann Wenckstern\, EPFLJohannes Schöneberg\, UCSDLukas Kapitein\, Utrecht UniversityMagda Bienko\, SciLifeLab\, Karolinska Institutet / Human TechnopoleRalf Jungmann\, Max Planck Institute of BiochemistrySuliana Manley\, EPFL \n\n\n\nRegistration \n\n\n\nRegistration for on-site participation is now closed.

It will then explore key drivers of rising resistance through a One Health lens\, explaining how interconnected systems—medicine\, veterinary practice\, agriculture\, and the environment—contribute to its emergence and spread. Particular attention will be given to low-resource settings\, where the impact of AMR is greatest and diagnostic capacity remains limited. Field data from Nigeria\, including work conducted with Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF)\, will illustrate these challenges. \n\n\n\nFinally\, the lecture presents a trans-European bicycle initiative from Thessaloniki to Stockholm\, designed to foster cross-sector dialogue along the North–South AMR gradient while raising funds through a crowdfunding campaign to support the implementation of microbiology laboratory capacity in Mbujimayi\, Democratic Republic of Congo. \n\n\n\nSpeaker\n\n\n\nProf. Dimitri Van der Linden\, pediatric infectious diseases specialist\, specialized pediatrics service\, Pediatric Department\, Cliniques universitaires Saint-Luc\, Brussels\, Belgium. \n\n\n\nRegistration\n\n\n\nRegister here\n\n\n\nMore information\n\n\n\nVENUE: BioClinicum\, J3:11\, Birger & Margareta Blombäck.

Super-resolution methods such as Stimulated Emission Depletion (STED) microscopy overcome this limitation\, enabling visualization of mitochondrial features which are blurred with conventional microscopy. In this talk\, I will present how we use STED and complementary imaging approaches to investigate mitochondrial ultrastructure such as the folding of the mitochondrial inner membrane\, mitochondrial proteins\, mitochondrial DNA and mRNAs. Our work aims to uncover how the inner membrane develops and maintains its complex folds\, and how this architecture relates to gene expression within the organelle. I will also discuss emerging automation strategies that streamline STED workflows\, potentially opening the door to broader adoption in biomedical research and clinical diagnostics. \n\n\n\nSuper-Resolution Imaging of Mitochondria \n\n\n\nMitochondria are essential organelles whose small size\, dynamic behavior\, and intricate architecture challenge conventional light microscopy\, which is fundamentally limited by diffraction. Super-resolution techniques such as Stimulated Emission Depletion (STED) microscopy overcome this barrier\, enabling the visualization of mitochondrial structures that remain unresolved with standard imaging approaches. \n\n\n\nIn this talk\, I will present our use of STED and complementary imaging approaches to examine mitochondrial ultrastructure\, including inner membrane organization\, mitochondrial proteins\, mitochondrial DNA and mRNAs. Ultimately\, our work seeks to understand how the highly folded inner membrane is established and maintained\, and how its architecture influences gene expression within the organelle. \n\n\n\nI will highlight recent advances in the automation of STED microscopy that enhance throughput\, reproducibility\, and ease of use\, bringing STED super-resolution imaging closer to routine applications in biological research and clinical settings. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBiography\n\n\n\nProfessor Jakobs is a cell biologist working at the interface of biology and advanced imaging. His laboratory pioneered the use of diffraction-limited super-resolution microscopy for cell biology. More recently\, they have automated these approaches to enable drug screening at unprecedented optical resolution and high throughput. He has published more than 130 manuscripts on this topic and has an h-index of 83 (according to Google Scholar). In addition to his affiliation with the University Medical Center Göttingen\, he leads a research group at the MPI for Multidisciplinary Sciences and is head of the Göttingen Fraunhofer Site – Translational Neuroinflammation and Automated Microscopy. He holds an ERC Advanced Grant focusing on the analysis of mitochondrial ultrastructure using super-resolution microscopy and is spokesperson of the DFG-funded Research Unit FOR2848\, which focuses on the application of advanced microscopic technologies to questions in cell biology.   \n\n\n\nHost: Ilaria Testa ilaria.testa@scilifelab.se URL:https://www.scilifelab.se/event/super-resolution-imaging-of-mitochondria/ LOCATION:Air&Fire\, SciLifeLab Stockholm\, Tomtebodavägen 23A\, Solna\, Sweden CATEGORIES:Event ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.scilifelab.se/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Campus-solna-seminar-picture.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Spotlight Seminar Series":MAILTO:events@scilifelab.se END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Stockholm:20260612T151500 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Stockholm:20260612T161500 DTSTAMP:20260604T224646 CREATED:20260529T161711Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260529T161712Z UID:10001840-1781277300-1781280900@www.scilifelab.se SUMMARY:[The Svedberg seminar] - Tissue Regulatory T cells DESCRIPTION:Adrian Liston \n\n\n\nProfessorUniversity of Cambridge\, UK \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBio\n\n\n\nAdrian Liston is Professor of Pathology at the University of Cambridge and Equalities Fellow at St Catharine’s College.

Join this seminar to find out what the latest data reveals about where progress is being made\, where it is stalling\, and what the findings mean for your own work with open access\, open data\, and research visibility. \n\n\n\nOpen Science has become increasingly embedded in Swedish research policy. Despite ambitious national targets\, Sweden did not achieve full open access to academic publications by 2021\, and open research data is unlikely to reach full implementation by 2026\, highlighting a persistent gap between policy ambitions and institutional practice. This presentation examines the implementation of Open Science in Swedish higher education institutions using longitudinal data from the SUHF Roadmap for Open Science surveys (2023–2025\, as published in https://doi.org/10.7557/11.8391)\, including newly available 2026 results. It highlights areas where implementation has progressed most strongly\, identifies areas where development remains weak\, and discusses the structural changes needed for Open Science to become fully embedded across Swedish academia. \n\n\n\nPresenter: Ineke Luijten\, (PhD)\, Scientific Training Officer at SciLifeLab & Analyst of the annual SUHF OS implementation survey \n\n\n\nMore information\nThis event is part of the SciLifeLab Open Science seminar series\, an event series by the SciLifeLab Data Centre and NBIS joint Data Management team.The goal of the events in this seminar series is to provide interesting interactive seminars around topics related to Research Data Management and Open Science in general\, and to foster discussions around best practices. \n\n\n\nResearch Data Management (RDM) concerns the organization\, storage\, preservation\, and sharing of data that is collected and analyzed during a research project. Proper planning and management of research data will make project management easier and more efficient while projects are being performed. It also facilitates sharing and allows others to validate as well as reuse the data.Open Science is a set of principles and practices that aim to make scientific research from all fields accessible to everyone for the benefits of scientists and society as a whole. Open science is about making sure not only that scientific knowledge is accessible but also that the production of that knowledge itself is inclusive\, equitable and sustainable. \n\n\n\nThe events are open to everyone working at or affiliated with a Swedish research institute or university. We welcome all researchers\, educational professionals\, staff\, RDM professionals\, and others with an interest in life sciences\, from all university levels. The events are informal and inclusive\, so feel welcome to join and participate in our interesting discussions! \n\n\n\nThe events will be recorded and published openly after the seminars on the SciLifeLab YouTube channel. The slides will be made available at our SciLifeLab Data Repository.More information about SciLifeLab Data Centre and NBIS joint Open Science seminar series: https://www.scilifelab.se/data/scilifelab-data-management-seminar-series/ \n\n\n\nIf you have suggestions for topics or presentations\, please contact us at data-management@scilifelab.seFor more information or inquiries\, please contact us at  data-management@scilifelab.se URL:https://www.scilifelab.se/event/openscience-compliance/ CATEGORIES:Event ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.scilifelab.se/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/DC_seminar-series_background1-1.png ORGANIZER;CN="Open Science Seminar Series":MAILTO:data-management@scilifelab.se LOCATION:https://uu-se.zoom.us/j/65432842101?from=addon END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Stockholm:20260616T110000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Stockholm:20260616T120000 DTSTAMP:20260604T224646 CREATED:20260603T073920Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260604T153824Z UID:10001842-1781607600-1781611200@www.scilifelab.se SUMMARY:Cryo-electron microscopy as a discovery tool in sperm biology DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Tzviya Zeev-Ben-Mordehai\, Utrecht University \n\n\n\nAbstract\n\n\n\nCryo-EM single-particle analysis (SPA) approaches typically entail overexpression and purification of the target complex. For that\, prior knowledge of the composition of the complex of interest is required. In the highly specialised sperm cell\, the molecular composition is often not known. During my talk\, I will show how we expand the range of samples attainable for SPA towards more native samples\, specifically towards complex macromolecular assemblies that cannot be reconstituted\, and show how SPA is used as a discovery tool in sperm biology. \n\n\n\nBiography\n\n\n\nAn expert in reproductive structural biology. Zeev-Ben-Mordehai received her PhD from the Weizmann Institute of Science in 2008. In 2015 she established her group in the Division of Structural Biology of Oxford University. Since 2017 her group is part of Bijvoet Centre for Biomolecular Research of Utrecht University. Her group developed the first cryo-ET workflow for mammalian sperm\, enabling molecularresolution imaging of flagellar ultrastructure across species. Her landmark studies have revealed the multi-scale architecture of mammalian sperm flagella (EMBO J 2021)\, structural specialisations of the sperm tail (Cell 2023)\, structural diversity of axonemes across mammalian motile cilia (Nature 2025)\, and in-cell structures at the mitochondria– cytoskeleton interface in sperm (PNAS 2021). Zeev-Ben-Mordehai is a recipient of a Wellcome Trust and The Royal Society Sir Henry Dale Fellowship (2015)\, NWO START-UP (2018)\, ERC-consolidator grant (2023) and an NWO-Vici grant (2025). \n\n\n\nHost; Luca Jovine luca.jovine@ki.se URL:https://www.scilifelab.se/event/cryo-electron-microscopy-as-a-discovery-tool-in-sperm-biology/ LOCATION:Air&Fire\, SciLifeLab Stockholm\, Tomtebodavägen 23A\, Solna\, Sweden CATEGORIES:Event ORGANIZER;CN="SciLifeLab Event":MAILTO:events@scilifelab.se END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Stockholm:20260623T080000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Stockholm:20260627T170000 DTSTAMP:20260604T224646 CREATED:20251003T110018Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251003T113802Z UID:10001625-1782201600-1782579600@www.scilifelab.se SUMMARY:ICP2026 - International Conference on Palaeogenomics DESCRIPTION:The first edition of the International Conference on Palaeogenomics (ICP2026) will happen in Stockholm\, June 23-26 2026. \n\n\n\nJoin us for four exciting days as we bring together leading researchers\, emerging scholars\, and professionals from around the world to explore the latest advances in palaeogenomics.

DESCRIPTION:Beskrivning av samhällsfrågan \n\n\n\nPrecisionsdiagnostik flyttar fokus från var cancern sitter i kroppen\, till tumörens genetiska profil. Men avancerad testning kräver specialistkompetens och strukturer för tolkning av stora datamängder. Hur säkerställer vi jämlik tillgång till rätt testning och rätt behandling i hela landet? \n\n\n\nUtökad information om evenemanget\n\n\n\nMolecular Tumour Board (MTB) är en central funktion i modern cancervård där multidisciplinära expertteam tolkar komplex genetisk information för att kunna välja rätt behandling till rätt patient. Men tillgången till både avancerad genetisk testning och till expertis inom MTB varierar i landet. Detta riskerar att förstärka ojämlikheter i cancervården och försvåra implementeringen av precisionsmedicin i klinisk praxis. Hur säkerställer vi att alla patienter får tillgång till rätt diagnostik\, rätt tolkning och rätt behandling – oavsett var de bor? Seminariet sätter fokus på det strategiska vägval Sverige står inför: • Hur ser vi till att MTB blir en nationell angelägenhet avpassad efter regionala behov? • Vilka investeringar krävs i infrastruktur\, kompetens och datahantering? • Hur säkerställer vi att innovation omsätts i faktisk patientnytta – för alla\, inte bara för vissa?

Att systematiskt koppla samman forskning vid universiteten\, SciLifeLabs forskningsinfrastruktur och universitetssjukhus möjliggör snabbare införande av avancerad teknologi för klinisk nytta. Genom gemensamma enheter vid universitetssjukhusen kan utveckling och anpassning av avancerade teknologier göras inom molekylär analys\, data-driven forskning och AI för att stärka den kliniska forskningen och brett genomslag av precisionsmedicin i Sverige. Långsiktig finansiering av dessa enheter och samverkan mellan hälso- och sjukvården\, akademin\, industrin och patienter är avgörande för att lyckas med detta ambitiösa men nödvändiga mål. Vi diskuterar varför dessa gemensamma strukturer behöver skapas och hur de kan utformas för att stärka Sveriges kliniknära forskning.

DESCRIPTION:Beskrivning av samhällsfrågan \n\n\n\nAI och avancerad dataanalys kan bidra till tidigare upptäckt\, mer träffsäkra behandlingsbeslut och bättre uppföljning i cancervården. Men i dag hindrar fragmenterade IT-system\, otydliga regelverk och begränsad datadelning utvecklingen. Hur skapar vi en mer datadriven cancervård? \n\n\n\nUtökad information om evenemanget\n\n\n\nCancer är en av vår tids största folkhälsoutmaningar och antalet cancerfall väntas öka i takt med en åldrande befolkning. Samtidigt utvecklas nya diagnostiska metoder\, behandlingar och datadrivna verktyg i snabb takt. För att dessa innovationer ska komma patienter till nytta behöver vården kunna använda hälsodata mer effektivt\, säkert och strukturerat än i dag. Sverige har goda förutsättningar genom nationella register\, hög digital mognad och stark forskning. Trots detta finns betydande hinder för hur hälsodata kan delas\, analyseras och användas i klinisk verksamhet\, kvalitetsuppföljning och forskning. Bristande interoperabilitet\, otydliga regelverk och fragmenterade IT-system gör att potentialen i AI och avancerad dataanalys inte utnyttjas fullt ut.

Improving data quality is therefore a key step towards more reproducible research and better alignment with Open Science and FAIR principles. \n\n\n\nIn this session\, we will introduce OpenRefine\, an open-source tool designed to help researchers explore\, clean\, and transform messy tabular data. OpenRefine is particularly useful for working with spreadsheets and datasets containing inconsistencies such as duplicate entries\, varying formats\, or typographical errors. \n\n\n\nWe will begin with a short introduction to the types of data challenges OpenRefine can address\, followed by a live demonstration showing how to work with real data. The demo will highlight key features and how these can be used to efficiently identify and resolve inconsistencies in datasets. \n\n\n\nThe session will conclude with an open Q&A\, providing an opportunity to ask questions and discuss how these approaches can be applied in your own research context. \n\n\n\nNo prior experience with OpenRefine is required.  \n\n\n\nElisavet Torstensson\, SciLifeLab\, Data Steward NBIS- FEGA Sweden Helpdesk Team- Elixir Sweden \n\n\n\nMore information\nThis event is part of the SciLifeLab Open Science seminar series\, an event series by the SciLifeLab Data Centre and NBIS joint Data Management team.The goal of the events in this seminar series is to provide interesting interactive seminars around topics related to Research Data Management and Open Science in general\, and to foster discussions around best practices. \n\n\n\nResearch Data Management (RDM) concerns the organization\, storage\, preservation\, and sharing of data that is collected and analyzed during a research project. Proper planning and management of research data will make project management easier and more efficient while projects are being performed. It also facilitates sharing and allows others to validate as well as reuse the data.Open Science is a set of principles and practices that aim to make scientific research from all fields accessible to everyone for the benefits of scientists and society as a whole. Open science is about making sure not only that scientific knowledge is accessible but also that the production of that knowledge itself is inclusive\, equitable and sustainable. \n\n\n\nThe events are open to everyone working at or affiliated with a Swedish research institute or university. We welcome all researchers\, educational professionals\, staff\, RDM professionals\, and others with an interest in life sciences\, from all university levels. The events are informal and inclusive\, so feel welcome to join and participate in our interesting discussions! \n\n\n\nThe events will be recorded and published openly after the seminars on the SciLifeLab YouTube channel.
