SUMMARY:ELIXIR Tools for Reproducible Research - ONLINE
DESCRIPTION:Elixir / NBIS course open for PhD students\, postdocs\, group leaders and core facility staff interested in making their computational analysis more reproducible. International applications are welcome\, but we will give approximately half of the participant slots to applicants from Swedish universities at minimum\, due to the national role NBIS plays in Sweden. \n\n\n\nThe course is organized by NBIS (ELIXIR-SE). \n\n\n\nResponsible teachers: John Sundh\, Erik Fasterius\, Verena Kutschera \n\n\n\nContact information: edu.trr@nbis.se \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nApplication\n\n\n\nCourse website\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nImportant dates\n\n\n\nApplication open: September 1 \n\n\n\nApplication deadline: October 15 \n\n\n\nConfirmation to accepted participants: October 22 \n\n\n\nCourse fee\n\n\n\nThis online training event has no fee. However\, if you accept a position at the workshop and do not participate (no-show) you will be invoiced 2\,000 SEK.*Please note that NBIS cannot invoice individuals \n\n\n\nCourse description\n\n\n\nOne of the key principles of proper scientific procedure is the act of repeating an experiment or analysis and being able to reach similar conclusions. Published research based on computational analysis\, e.g. bioinformatics or computational biology\, have often suffered from incomplete method descriptions (e.g. list of used software versions); unavailable raw data; and incomplete\, undocumented and/or unavailable code. This essentially prevents any possibility of attempting to reproduce the results of such studies. The term “reproducible research” has been used to describe the idea that a scientific publication based on computational analysis should be distributed along with all the raw data and metadata used in the study\, all the code and/or computational notebooks needed to produce results from the raw data\, and the computational environment or a complete description thereof. \n\n\n\nReproducible research not only leads to proper scientific conduct but also provides other researchers the access to build upon previous work. Most importantly\, the person setting up a reproducible research project will quickly realize the immediate personal benefits: an organized and structured way of working. The person that most often has to reproduce your own analysis is your future self! \n\n\n\nCourse content\n\n\n\nIn this course you will learn how to make your data analyses reproducible. In particular\, you will learn: \n\n\n\ngood practices for data analysishow to use the version control system git to track edits and collaborate on codinghow to use the package and environment manager Condahow to use the workflow managers Snakemake and Nextflowhow to use R Markdown to generate automated reportshow to use Jupyter notebooks to document your ongoing analysishow to use Docker and Singularity to distribute containerized computational environments\n\n\n\nEntry requirements\n\n\n\nRequired for being able to follow the course and to complete computer exercises: \n\n\n\nfamiliarity with using the terminal (e.g. be familiar with commands such as ls\, cd\, touch\, mkdir\, pwd\, wget\, man\, etc.)a computer with a webcamYou will be asked to install the video conferencing software zoom (https://zoom.us/) to be able to participate in the coursesome knowledge in R and/or python is beneficial but not strictly required\n\n\n\nSelection criteria\n\n\n\nThe course can accommodate 20 participants. Selection criteria include correct entry requirements\, motivation to attend the course as well as gender and geographical balance. Academic affiliated registrants are prioritized prior to participants from the industry.  \n\n\n\nPlease note that NBIS training events do not provide any formal university credits. The training content is estimated to correspond to a certain number of credits\, however the estimated credits are just guidelines. If formal credits are crucial\, the student needs to confer with the home department before submitting a course application in order to establish whether the course is valid for formal credits or not.

SUMMARY:DDLS Conference: Strategic research areas - postponed!
DESCRIPTION:Join us at the first conference within The SciLifeLab and Wallenberg national program for Data-Driven Life Science! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe practice of life science is continuously becoming more data-dependent. The amount and complexity of data is growing exponentially\, and more scientific discoveries are enabled when data is openly available to researchers across the world. This is the basis for the SciLifeLab and Wallenberg National Program on Data-Driven Life Science (DDLS). \n\n\n\nThe program focuses on four strategic areas for data-driven research\, all of which are essential for improving the lives of people as well as animals and nature\, detecting and treating diseases\, protecting biodiversity and creating sustainability:  \n\n\n\nCell and molecular biologyEpidemiology and infection biologyEvolution and biodiversityPrecision medicine and diagnostics\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nThe conference will focus on enthusing research within the four research areas and aims to bring together researchers within the field for discussion and sharing the latest within the research areas. The meeting will offer an exciting compilation of keynotes\, special lectures within the four fields and opportunities to meet and discuss with prominent researchers.  \n\n\n\nAnyone with interest in the data-driven research field is welcome to participate. The full-day conference will be virtual (Zoom). \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nThe program with confirmed speakers will be available shortly. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe conference is part of the SciLifeLab and Wallenberg national program for the DDLS program\, funded by the Alice and Knut Wallenbergs Foundation.

SUMMARY:The Svedberg seminar series: Prof. Tuuli Lappalainen
DESCRIPTION:Science for Life Laboratory\, Department of Gene Technology\, KTH Royal Institute of Technology\, Stockholm\, Sweden \n\n\n\nNew York Genome Center\, New York\, USA \n\n\n\nLINK TO SEMINAR \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTuuli Lappalainen is a Professor in Genomics at KTH Royal Institute of Technology\, an Associate Faculty Member at the New York Genome Center\, and the Director of the National Genomics Infrastructure of SciLifeLab. She is also an Adjunct Professor at the Department of Systems Biology at Columbia University. \n\n\n\nHer research focuses on functional genetic variation in human populations and its contribution to traits and diseases. She has pioneered the intergration of large-scale genome and transcriptome sequencing data to understand how genetic variation affects gene expression\, providing insight to cellular mechanisms underlying genetic risk for disease. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFunctional variation in the human genome: lessons from the transcriptome\n\n\n\nDetailed characterization of molecular and cellular effects of genetic variants is essential for understanding biological processes that underlie genetic associations to disease. A particularly scalable approach has been linking genetic variants to effects in the transcriptome that is amenable for scalable measurements in human populations and in experimental settings\, including at the single cell level. Our multi-omic analysis in human cohorts in the TOPMed project has identified genetic and environmental effects on molecular variation together with their complex interplay with clinical phenotypes. Furthermore\, in this talk I will discuss how CRISPRi silencing of regulatory elements followed by single-cell analysis provides novel insights of mechanisms of genetic associations to complex traits. Altogether\, these diverse approaches for integration genome and transcriptome data uncover functional genetic architecture of human traits\, and enhances our understanding of both basic biology and precision medicine applications. \n\n\n\nHost: Jessica Nordlund\, Uppsala University

SUMMARY:SciLifeLab AI Seminar Series: A sneak peek into the future of AI-assisted life science
DESCRIPTION:SciLifeLab Data Centre hosts a seminar series on the topic of applied AI in life science research. SciLifeLab AI Seminar Series combines scientific highlights from SciLifeLab-affiliated researchers and invited experts on the general topic of AI applications in Life Science.  \n\n\n\nThe seminar will be held physically at SciLifeLab Gamma 7 lunch room in Solna and online via Zoom. Physical participation is recommended since some AI models are not allowed to be shown via streaming and there will be no recording after the seminar according to the live demonstration policy of OpenAI.  \n\n\n\nContact: Prof. Ola Spjuth\, AI coordinator\, SciLifeLab Data Center. \n\n\n\nSpeaker: Wei OUYANGKTH Royal Institute of Technology and Science for Life Laboratory \n\n\n\nAbstract\n\n\n\nHave you imagined how AI may one day help you with your research by proposing new ideas\, running experiments\, analyzing data\, and even writing manuscripts? While current AI systems are too weak for those tasks\, we are closer than ever before! \n\n\n\nIn June 2020\, OpenAI revealed the most advanced AI model in the world\, GPT-3. It is the largest natural language processing model ever created with 175 billion parameters\, trained on about 45TB of text data\, and it cost $12 million for a single training run that may be utilized and reused for many tasks. Not only are these numbers impressive\, its “text in\, text out” interface can be used as a general purpose tool for almost any language task with impressively good performance. With the newly released Codex model (a descendant of GPT-3)\, it can even generate source code in popular programming languages by following instructions in natural languages\, e.g.\, English. GPT-3 not only brings us to a new paradigm of AI-assisted coding\, but it also has a great potential to address long-standing challenges in deep learning about generalization and interpretability. \n\n\n\nWe are excited to share with you what we have learned so far about GPT-3 and its applications in life science. In this talk\, we will give you an overview and discuss the promises and pitfalls of GPT-3. You will also see live demos in biomedical applications\, such as processing genomic sequences\, analyzing microscopy images\, and creating user-friendly software with graphical user interfaces (GUIs). Hopefully\, this session will serve as inspiration for your own research\, serve as a basis for discussion about AI in life science\, and convey how these tools may accelerate data-driven life science at SciLifeLab. \n\n\n\nBiography\n\n\n\nWei OUYANG is a researcher in Prof. Emma Lundberg’s group at the Science for Life Laboratory and KTH Royal Institute of Technology. He has a diverse background across several different fields including material science\, computer science and advanced microscopy imaging. In 2018\, Dr. Ouyang obtained his PhD in computational image analysis at Institut Pasteur\, Paris where he mainly focuses on applying deep learning for super-resolution microscopy. During this period\, he developed a deep learning method called ANNA-PALM which massively accelerates super-resolution localization microscopy by 100x. To address the challenges in the dissemination of AI tools\, he developed an open-source computational platform\, ImJoy\, which makes deep learning tools easier to build and more accessible to the user. He is actively involved in consortiums and community activities for promoting more open\, scalable\, accessible and reproducible scientific tools. Dr Ouyang has been focusing on AI augmented microscopy imaging and data-driven whole cell modeling. More recently\, he is excited about the recent progress in the field of AI and has a knee interest in exploring the next generation of data-driven life science powered by AI\, robotics\, blockchain and decentralized applications. \n\n\n\nRegister here

SUMMARY:Clinical Talks: The road towards precision medicine in Sweden
DESCRIPTION:On November 26\, we will host Karolinska Institutet (KI) Professor Richard Rosenquist Brandell. In addition to his academic research and clinical work\, he also co-founded the Genomic Medicine Sweden (GMS) initiative and serves as the Director of GMS. Richard will share his insights on Sweden’s national strategy to implement precision medicine into our healthcare environment and pave the way for the amazing potential the approach has to offer. To benefit from the sustainable advantages of tailored and efficient use of diagnostics and treatment options\, Sweden needs to prepare our society for the legal challenges and infrastructures necessary to support and enable this transformation. \n\n\n\nRead more about clinical talks\n\n\n\nRichard Rosenquist Brandell\, MD\, PhD\, is Professor of Clinical Genetics at Karolinska Institutet\, Senior Physician at Karolinska University Hospital and director of Genomic Medicine Sweden\, a national infrastructure for implementation of precision medicine. He obtained his MD degree in 1996\, and later his PhD in Medicine in 1998\, from Umeå University. In 2000 Richard joined Uppsala University Hospital (“Akademiska Sjukhuset”) and in 2007 became a Professor at the Department of Immunology\, Genetics and Pathology\, Uppsala University. In April 2017\, he relocated to the Karolinska University Hospital as a Senior Physician and Professor. Richard’s work focuses on hematological malignancies and utilizing high-throughput sequencing technologies\, his team has identified novel prognostic and predictive biomarkers that have significantly improved patient risk-stratification.  Dr Rosenquist Brandell is also a member of the Nobel Assembly at Karolinska Institutet. \n\n\n\nGenomic Medicine Sweden (GMS) started as a bottom-up initiative within the national Clinical Genomics Platform (previously named the Diagnostics Development platform) at the Swedish Science for Life Laboratory (SciLifeLab). In 2017 and 2018 discussions with funding agencies\, decision-makers\, healthcare providers\, patient organisations\, universities\, and industry led to the founding of GMS as a national venture. GMS strategic mission is to foster collaboration between healthcare providers\, academia\, patient organizations and industry and realize precision medicine by effectively utilizing the rapidly advancing sequencing technologies to provide the highest standards of genomic testing in routine clinical care throughout Sweden. \n\n\n\nRegistration

SUMMARY:BioImage Informatics Call4Help
DESCRIPTION:Every 1st week of the month (mainly on Tuesdays\, but there might be exceptions) the BioImage Informatics Facility together with microscopy expert Sylvie Le Guyader (LCI\, Karolinska Institutet) organizes a Call4Help session. The aim is to offer combined expertise towards microscopy and bioimage analysis. All researchers from Swedish institutes can participate. \n\n\n\nThe ideal timepoint to join the Call4Help session is when a researcher has performed pilot experiments and has tried out first analysis approaches – but before having recorded hundreds of images. Combining BIIF’s expertise in BioImage Analysis with microscopy expertise we can discuss ways to record the images that allow analysis afterwards. We will discuss different analysis approaches using mainly open-source software (Fiji\, CellProfiler\, QuPath\, Ilastik\, KNIME)\, but also commercial systems\, if needed (Imaris). \n\n\n\nThe Call4Help session format has been introduced to the BioImage Analysis community by NEUBIAS and ScopeM. \n\n\n\nHow to participate? \n\n\n\nWe prefer if you prepare a short presentation and upload it together with some example images according to the steps 1 and 2 below. This makes it easier for us when we have to prioritize between projects and allows us to prepare for the meeting. But if time permits\, we can also accept participants without this info. \n\n\n\nStep1: \n\n\n\nPrepare a short presentation (5-7 min)  – use the following template for your presentation: \n\n\n\nhttp://bit.ly/BIIF_C4H_slideTemplate \n\n\n\nSlide template by NEUBIAS/ScopeM \n\n\n\nStep2: \n\n\n\na) Upload your presentation \n\n\n\nUpload your presentation to a drive of your choice. You can also use our Call4Help google drive. Note that files shared on our Call4Help drive will be available to everyone until the session is over. \n\n\n\nhttp://bit.ly/BIIF_C4H_Drive \n\n\n\nb) Upload example images for testing. \n\n\n\nUpload example images for testing either to the drive of your choice or our Call4Help google drive above. \n\n\n\nhttp://bit.ly/BIIF_C4H_Drive \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nc) Register by filling out the registration form: \n\n\n\nhttp://bit.ly/BIIF_C4H_Registration \n\n\n\nStep 3: \n\n\n\nJoin the zoom-session. \n\n\n\nIf your problem is selected for presentation\, you will get a time-slot of 30 – 60 minutes within the session. \n\n\n\nWhat are the Deadlines \n\n\n\nSubmission of a problem and upload of example data: Friday the week before the session. \n\n\n\nNotification about participation: The day before the session. \n\n\n\nNext Call4Help session \n\n\n\nTuesday\, December 7\, 2021\, 9.00-12.00. Deadline for application: Friday\, December 3\, 2021.

SUMMARY:SciLifeLab Drug Discovery Seminar & DDD Exit event: Thomas Helleday
DESCRIPTION:Pharmacological targeting of MTHFD2 suppresses acute myeloid leukemia by inducing thymidine depletion and replication stress\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProfessor Thomas Helleday\, Karolinska Institutet \n\n\n\nSciLifeLab Drug Discovery Seminars\, hosted by the DDD platform\, is a series of educational lectures about recent developments\, technologies\, and trends in drug discovery and development that aims to enlighten\, and spark a discussion\, within the Swedish drug discovery community. \n\n\n\nAbstract \n\n\n\nThe folate metabolism enzyme MTHFD2 is consistently overexpressed in cancer but its roles are not fully characterized and current candidate inhibitors have limited potency for clinical development. Here we demonstrate a role for MTHFD2 in DNA replication and genomic stability in cancer cells\, and present optimised potent and selective nanomolar MTHFD2 inhibitors (MTHFD2i); protein co-crystal structures demonstrated binding to the active site of MTHFD2 and target engagement and that works in vitro and in vivo. \n\n\n\nThe results demonstrate a functional link between MTHFD2-dependent cancer metabolism and replication stress that can be exploited therapeutically with this new class of inhibitors. The work\, done in collaboration with the SciLifeLab DDD platform\, is accepted in the journal Nature Cancer and is the base for the creation of a new company: One-carbon therapeutics AB.  \n\n\n\nregistration

SUMMARY:FAIR principles in life science research practice 
DESCRIPTION:Location: Online via Zoom\n\n\n\nThis online workshop will showcase how to put the FAIR principles into practice and is specifically designed to cater to life science researchers at all career stages. It is organised by SciLifeLab Data Centre and NBIS and include international speakers\, presenters from the SciLifeLab community and optional hands-on exercises guided by experts from NBIS and SciLifeLab Data Centre.  \n\n\n\nThe workshop aims to highlight some of the strongest motivators for adopting the FAIR principles and demonstrate how to operationalise them in your projects’ data management practices. While the intended audience is the full spectrum of researchers from experienced principal investigators to early career PhDs the registration open to everyone involved in life science research. To serve participants with varying roles and priorities the day is divided into two companion sessions and you can sign up for one or both at your leisure. The morning session covers the principles and a selection of case studies on how to operationalise them. The afternoon session is based on practical exercises and will provide an opportunity to gain hands-on experience of making research data FAIR. \n\n\n\nThe overall issues that the sessions aim to address is the fact that an increasing number of policymakers and funders are expecting research projects to adopt the FAIR principles for scientific data management. While the acronym is composed of words that are commonly associated with assessing secondary data—that is that they are Findable\, Accessible\, Interoperable\, and Reusable—it might not be obvious how to prepare your data to be FAIR. \n\n\n\nAcceptance to this workshop is on a first come\, first served basis. Registration is required to receive the Zoom link. The afternoon session is limited to 20 participants. \n\n\n\nMorning session (09:00–12:00)\n\n\n\nInvited speakers include international experts on supporting research projects in adopting the FAIR principles and a selection of projects from the SciLifeLab community that illustrate aspects of putting FAIR in practice. \n\n\n\nErik Schultes – Lead FAIR Implementation at the GO FAIR Foundation and a member of the Leiden Center for Data Science.Rob Hooft – Technical Coordinator for the Dutch ELIXIR Node and Programme Manager Data Stewardship at the Dutch Techcentre for Life Sciences (DTL).\n\n\n\nAfternoon session (13:00-16:00)\n\n\n\nJoin the local data management experts from SciLifeLab’s national bioinformatics support platform (NBIS) and SciLifeLab Data Centre in guided\, hands-on exercises on data organisation\, reproducibility and good data management practices that you can apply in your own projects. \n\n\n\nRegister here\n\n\n\nView the full agenda here
