Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a growing global health threat with major epidemiological consequences across human, animal, and environmental health. This lecture will first outline the current global burden and trends of AMR. It will then explore key drivers of rising resistance through a One Health lens, explaining how interconnected systems—medicine, veterinary practice, agriculture, and the […]
The 4th BioSyst EU meeting is taking place in Uppsala Sweden, 17th - 19th August 2026, and will be organised by the Swedish Systematics Association. The 3-day conference celebrates European systematics and biodiversity research at its origin. An excursion directly after the conference rounds off the program with keynotes and symposia. The Conference is supported by the KAW initiative DDLS Evolution and Biodiversity research […]
Heidi Howard NBIS and SciLifeLab Data Centre arrange an open SciLifeLab AI Seminar Series aimed at knowledge-sharing about Artificial Intelligence and applications in the Life Science community. The seminar series is open to everyone. The seminar is run over Zoom on the third Friday of the month during academic terms, typically between 10 and 11 am, with approx. […]

WASP-HS & DDLS: Joint Workshop at Sigtunastiftelsen, 12–14 October This interdisciplinary workshop brings together a carefully selected group of 25 researchers from diverse fields to exchange perspectives on the ethical, legal, and social dimensions of data-intensive research in the life sciences. The conversation is not limited to lawyers and ethicists, but also includes researchers whose […]
This conference focuses on the PROMISE Cancer effort led by Swedish scientists representing Stockholm, Uppsala, Umeå, Linköping, Lund, and Gothenburg as well as SciLifeLab. Cancer encompasses more than 200 distinct diseases, each with widely varying prognoses, ranging from highly treatable to aggressive cancers with poor outcomes. Advances in molecular profiling hold great promise for improving […]
The Annual Conference SciLifeLab Science Summit is a one-day symposium with a new topic each year. The 2026 topic is: Cancer Research: Translating Life Science Discoveries to Clinical Breakthroughs For more than a century, Swedish cancer research has shaped the international scientific landscape, driven by strong academic environments and a deep societal commitment to transforming […]
The Data-Driven Life Science (DDLS) program, funded by the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation (KAW), warmly welcomes you to the 5th DDLS Annual Conference, taking place November 9-10, 2026, at Aula Magna, Frescati Campus, Stockholm. Target Group: Anyone interested in data-driven life science is welcome to attend the Conference. You don´t need to be part of […]
During the second day of the DDLS Annual Conference 2026 held at Aula Magna at Stockholm University participants will have an opportunity to attend one of the workshops. The workshops are directed at researchers in data-driven life science in all career stages. Please note that each workshop has a limited number of seats, on the […]
Understanding complex biological systems requires more than data, it demands mechanistic insight. This conference highlights how mechanistic models can integrate clinical and experimental data with computational approaches. The volume and complexity of life science data are growing at an unprecedented pace. While computational tools are increasingly used to structure and analyze these data, there remains […]
Please save the day for the 2027 workshop on the theme “Toward a national imaging informatics strategy” - hosted by DDLS Cell & Molecular Biology. Microscopy is facing ever-increasing challenges: Datasets are reaching terabyte sizes, computing requires software designed for GPUs, and there is an increased demand for smart microscopy (“AI in the loop”). This […]
