SUMMARY:Precision Omics Initiative Sweden (PROMISE) Symposium
DESCRIPTION:Sweden is uniquely positioned to advance medical research and implement precision medicine on a national scale\, benefiting its entire population. Integration of cutting-edge biomedical research technologies with Sweden’s uniform healthcare system has the potential to position our country as a global frontrunner\, leading the development of precision medicine in this new technological era. However\, data fragmentation and data isolation currently hinder the Swedish ability to fully capitalize on its potential and maximize the use of already available infrastructure and prior investments.  \n\n\n\nPrecision Omics Initiative Sweden (PROMISE)  is a new transformative initiative that will be centered around SciLifeLab and Genomic Medicine Sweden (GMS) to completely integrate medical research with the healthcare system in Sweden. \n\n\n\nPROMISE will have three major focus areas: 1) Generate extensive multi-omics data from both patients and the general population in Sweden\, 2) Develop a strong and effective infrastructure to integrate healthcare generated multi-omics data for research applications\, improve data sharing and data accessibility across Sweden\, 3) Develop legal and regulatory frameworks for better alignment with modern capabilities\, for maximum utilization of Sweden’s great potential. \n\n\n\nRegister for the PROMISE symposium\, October 28-29 2024\, to contribute to further developing the scientific foundation and design of this transformative initiative.  \n\n\n\nregistration\n\n\n\nProgram\n\n\n\nPROMISE Symposium Uppsala October 28-29_FINALDownload\n\n\n\nOrganizing committee  \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nAnna Clareborn\n\n\n\nSanna Gudmundsson\n\n\n\nBo Jacobsson\n\n\n\nÅsa Johansson\n\n\n\nAnders Kämpe\n\n\n\nTuuli Lappalainen\n\n\n\nKerstin Lindblad-Toh\n\n\n\nAnna Lindstrand\n\n\n\nBengt Persson\n\n\n\nRichard Rosenquist Brandell\n\n\n\nTobias Sjöblom\n\n\n\nColum Walsh

SUMMARY:R Programming Foundations for Data Analysis
DESCRIPTION:The course is addressed to individuals with little or no experience in programming but who are enthusiastic about learning how to use R for data analysis and streamline their work. It is a national course open for PhD students\, postdocs\, researchers and other employees in all Swedish. We also welcome applications from outside of Sweden (EU-zone) and from the non-academic sector\, for more info contact us. NOTE: In October 2024\, the course will be a 5-day-course on-site both in Uppsala and Lund. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue – onsite\n\n\n\n\nUppsala University: Experimental room\, Campus Blåsenhus\, von Kraemers allé 1A\, 2nd floor\n\n\n\nLund University: Retina D227\, Biologihuset\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nImportant dates\n\n\n\n\nApplication open: August 08\, 2024\n\n\n\nApplication deadline: September 30\, 2024\n\n\n\nConfirmation to accepted students: October 4\, 2024\n\n\n\n\nResponsible teachers: Nima Rafati\, Guilherme Dias\, Miguel Angel Redondo\, Marcin Kierczak\, Lokeshwaran Manoharan\, Louella Vasquez \n\n\n\nContact for questions: edu.r@nbis.se \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCourse fee\n\n\n\nA course fee* of 3000 SEK for non-profit organizations or 15000 SEK for private companies will be invoiced to accepted participants.

We will go through various aspects of R scripting. After introductory lectures on good programming practices\, basic software design theory and a brief overview of R\, we will delve into programming. We start by learning how to use R as a basic calculator\, what are variable types\, how to use data structures\, how to implement repeating actions with and without loops\, and how to take actions based on certain conditions. We gradually proceed to loading data\, importing data from common file formats\, some basic matrix algebra and learning how to perform basic statistical tests and visualize results. You will learn how to document your work and how to generate automatic reports using real-life datasets. During the course you will also be working on a small dataset to apply knowledge you learnt in the course and will present that in a report format towards the end of the workshop. \n\n\n\nTopics covered will include: \n\n\n\n\nVariables and Operators\n\n\n\nMatrices\, lists\, and dataframes\n\n\n\nData manipulation\n\n\n\nVisualization\n\n\n\nR packages\n\n\n\nBioconductor\n\n\n\n\nUpon completion of this course\, you will be able to: \n\n\n\n\nDescribe different data structures commonly used in R.\n\n\n\nWork with different data types.\n\n\n\nImport and export data from and to R environment. \n\n\n\nManipulate data.\n\n\n\nWork with dataframes and lists.\n\n\n\nVisualize the data.\n\n\n\nUse R Markdown to create reports containing text\, code\, tables and/or figures.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEntry requirements\n\n\n\nGood general computer literacy is expected\, but no previous experience in programming or R is required. You are expected to know basic concepts in mathematics and statistics\, but the emphasis of the course is to learn how to use R. \n\n\n\nParticipants are expected to use their own computers with pre-installed R and R Studio (detailed instructions will be given upon acceptance). \n\n\n\nDue to our best practice to have a high teacher to student ratio\, there are a maximum number of allowed participants. If we receive more applications\, participants will be selected based on several criteria. Selection criteria include correct entry requirements\, motivation to attend the course as well as gender and geographical balance.

SUMMARY:I Forskningens Framkant – Fortbildning för Gymnasielärare
DESCRIPTION:Eventet är inställt \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nMicrobes are a girl’s best friend: en introduktion till människans mikrobiota och hur den kan påverka vår reproduktiv hälsa\n\nLuisa Hughert \n\n\nAlla ytor i och på människokroppen är täckta i mikrober. Deras gemensamma arvsmassa är mer än hundra gånger större än människans och de har därför tillgång till betydligt flera metabola vägar. I den här föreläsningen undersöker vi hur våra könshormoner samspelar med våra mikrober\, och vilket nytta eller skada de kan göra. \n\n\n\n\n\nFramtidens målsökande läkemedel\n\n \n\n\nStefan Ståhl \n\n\nIntensiv forskning pågår för att utveckla läkemedel som kan målsöka sjuk vävnad\, t.ex. cancertumörer. Detta möjliggör att man kan koppla “tumördödande” substanser till målsökaren\, för att minska risk för biverkningar. Utmaningen är dock att måltavlan\, den s.k. biomarkören\, för målsökaren inte bara finns på tumören\, utan även i frisk vävnad. Därför eftersträvar man idag att utveckla målsökare som aktiverar sin “tumördödande” substans enbart i närhet av cancertumören. \n\n\n\n\n\nEn nål i en höstack- att kartlägga immunceller i tumörer\n\nCamilla Engblom \n\n\n\n\n\nGenteknisk modifiering av alger och växter för att förbättra fotosyntes\n\nPaul Hudson \n\n\n\n\n\nPlats: SciLifeLab\, Tomtebodavägen 23\, SolnaKarta: Google Maps \n\n\n\nVälkommen med din anmälan! \n\n\n\nAnmälan\n\n\n\nOrganiseras av SciLifeLab tillsammans med Vetenskapens Hus.

SUMMARY:[The Svedberg seminar] - Talking to cells: biomolecular ultrasound to image and control cells deep inside the body
DESCRIPTION:Mikhail G. ShapiroProfessorCalifornia Institute of Technology\, USA \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBio\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMikhail Shapiro is the Max Delbrück Professor of Chemical Engineering and Medical Engineering\, an HHMI Investigator\, and Director of the Center for Molecular and Cellular Medicine at Caltech. The Shapiro laboratory develops biomolecular technologies allowing cells to be imaged and controlled inside the body using noninvasive methods such as ultrasound. Mikhail received his PhD in Biological Engineering from MIT and his BSc in Neuroscience from Brown. He conducted post-doctoral research at the University of Chicago and UC Berkeley. During the 2024-5 academic year\, Mikhail is conducting research at the Physics for Medicine Institute in Paris and ESPCI as a Fulbright-Tocqueville Distinguished Chair. \n\n\n\nMikhail’s awards include the NIH Pioneer Award\, the Vilcek Prize for Creative Promise\, the Camille Dreyfus Teacher-Scholar Award and the Carl Hellmuth Hertz Ultrasonics Award. Mikhail is an inducted Fellow of the World Molecular Imaging Society. Alongside academic research\, Mikhail has been involved as a founder and adviser to several biotechnology and medical device startups.   \n\n\n\nTalking to cells: biomolecular ultrasound to image and control cells deep inside the body\n\n\n\nStudying biological function in intact organisms and developing targeted cellular therapies requires methods to image and control the function of specific cells deep inside the body. Fluorescent proteins and optogenetics serve this purpose in small\, translucent specimens\, but are limited by the poor penetration of light into deeper tissues. In contrast\, most non-invasive techniques such as ultrasound and magnetic resonance – while based on energy forms that penetrate tissue – are not effectively coupled to cellular function. In this talk\, I will describe our work to bridge this gap by developing biomolecular reporters and actuators for ultrasound based on gas vesicles – a unique class of air-filled protein nanostructures derived from buoyant photosynthetic microbes. By scattering sound waves\, gas vesicles enable noninvasive imaging of tumors\, immune cells\, gut microbes and cell-based diagnostics and therapies. In addition\, they serve as receivers of acoustic radiation force or seeds of localized bubble cavitation\, enabling acoustic remote control. \n\n\n\nMore information about the Shapiro Lab can be found online at shapirolab.caltech.edu. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHost: Maria Tenje\, UU maria.tenje@angstrom.uu.se

The fee includes lunches\, coffee and snacks\, and course dinner. \n\n\n\n*Please note that NBIS cannot invoice individuals \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCourse content\n\n\n\n This course provides a practical introduction to the writing of Python programs for the complete novice. Participants are led through the core aspects of Python illustrated by a series of example programs. Upon completion of the course\, attentive participants will be able to write simple Python programs from scratch and to customize more complex code to fit their needs. \n\n\n\nFormat \n\n\n\nThis course runs in parallel on-site in Uppsala\, Umeå and Lund. Lectures will be streamed online from our Uppsala site to the Umeå and Lund sites. Several teaching assistants will be present in all three classrooms all week to help with exercises and questions. When registering you will be asked to which site you apply. \n\n\n\nThe course consists of a mix of presentations\, demonstrations\, and practical exercises (either in the lab with assistants or on your own). Prior to the course\, you can read a companion book “Programming Python”\, or “Learning Python”. Such a book will also prove useful for your programming tasks\, after the course is over. It is however not required\, and material will be presented in class. \n\n\n\nTopics covered will include: \n\n\n\n\nCore concepts about Python syntax: Data types\, blocks and indentation\, variable scoping\, iteration\, functions\, methods and arguments\n\n\n\nDifferent ways to control program flow using loops and conditional tests\n\n\n\nRegular expressions and pattern matching\n\n\n\nWriting functions and best-practice ways of making them usable\n\n\n\nReading from and writing to files\n\n\n\nCode packaging and Python libraries\n\n\n\nHow to work with biological data using external libraries.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLearning Outcomes\n\n\n\nUpon completion of this course\, you will be able to: \n\n\n\n\nDescribe and apply basic concepts in Python\, such as:LoopsIf/else statementsFunctions\n\nReading/writing to files\n\n\n\n\n\nBeing able to edit and run Python code\n\n\n\nWrite file-processing Python programs that produce output to the terminal and/or external files\n\n\n\nCreate stand-alone python programs to process biological data\n\n\n\nKnow how to develop your skills in Python after the course (including debugging)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEntry requirements\n\n\n\nThe course is suitable for complete beginners and assumes no prior programming experience (beyond the ability to use a text editor). A very basic knowledge of UNIX would be an advantage\, such as navigating through folders and issuing commands at a shell prompt. We will not teach UNIX in detail: Other courses are available at SciLifeLab for it. Make sure your laptop has python installed for the practical exercises. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSelection criteria\n\n\n\nDue to limited space the course can accommodate a maximum of 25 participants in Uppsala and 15 in Umeå and Lund. If we receive more applications\, participants will be selected based on selection criteria\, including (but not limited to) correct entry requirements\, motivation to attend the course\, as well as gender and geographical balance. \n\n\n\nPlease note that NBIS training events do not provide any formal university credits. The training content is estimated to correspond to 1.5 hp credits\, however the estimated credits are just recommendations. 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:Glycomics of Human Immune Responses
DESCRIPTION:Eurolife Distinguished Lecture\n\n\n\nProfessor Manfred Wuhrer\, Leiden University Medical Center\n\n\n\nSciLifeLab Solna venue Air & Fire and online here >>  \n\n\n\nJoin Online\n\n\n\nWelcome to this lecture by Prof Dr Manfred Wuhrer from Leiden University Medical Center\, The Netherlands\, as part of the Eurolife Distinguished Lecture Series (EDLS). \n\n\n\nGlycosylation is a key factor in shaping multicellular life including immunological responses. Glycosylation modifies the activity and fate of both antibodies and immune cells involved in infections\, inflammatory responses and cancer. Mass spectrometry approaches allow to unravel disease-associated glycosylation changes including specific glycans attached to the Fc portion of antibodies that dictate antibody effector functions in auto- and alloimmune conditions\, inflammatory and infectious diseases\, and cancer. Exploring the glycomic dimension of diseases has great promise in providing novel diagnostic and therapeutic leads. \n\n\n\nMore information about Prof Dr Manfred Wuhrer from Leiden University Medical Center

All workshops start at 13:30 but end at various times. Coffee/tea and fika will be served during the workshops.  \n\n\n\nFeel free to email datacentre@scilifelab.se with any questions. \n\n\n\nWorkshops\n\n\n\nHands-on with Large Language Models\n\n\n\nHeld by: Ola Spjuth (UU\, SciLifeLab) and AI data engineers at SciLifeLab Data Centre \n\n\n\nWhere and when: November 14\, 2024 at 13:30-15:00\, room Sofokles \n\n\n\nDescription: Tools based on Large Language Models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT\, Microsoft Copilot\, Perplexity\, etc. are now widely used in various tasks such as drafting and editing texts\, analyzing data\, writing and troubleshooting code\, creating images\, etc. This workshop is aimed at researchers who never used or only recently started using LLM-based tools and would like to learn more. We will start with a theoretical introduction of how LLMs work and in which tasks they can be especially useful. Workshop participants can then choose from a number of hands-on exercises that they can complete on their own laptops. We will be available to help and answer questions. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPackaging and sharing data science applications as Docker container images\n\n\n\nHeld by: Data Engineers at the SciLifeLab Data Centre. \n\n\n\nWhere and when: November 14\, 2024 at 13:30-15:30\, room Platon \n\n\n\nDescription: This workshop is aimed at life science researchers who want to share data science applications such as apps built with R Shiny\, Plotly Dash\, Gradio\, Streamlit etc. publicly or with colleagues. Docker container images are a powerful tool for packaging and sharing applications and analyses widely used in both industry and academia. During the workshop we will first present the basics of Docker and how to build Docker container images. Building on this knowledge participants will then carry out hands-on exercises on their own laptops while we will be available to help. Finally\, we will also demonstrate how to publish applications packaged as Docker images on SciLifeLab Serve (https://serve.scilifelab.se) and make them available on the web with a URL (for example\, to be used in research papers or other output). SciLifeLab Serve is a service available free of charge to all life science researchers in Sweden.

SUMMARY:Strengths and challenges of diversity: Correlative analysis of multimodal image data
DESCRIPTION:Nataša Sladoje\, Uppsala University \n\n\n\nNBIS arranges an open AI and IO Seminar Series aimed at knowledge-sharing about Artificial Intelligence and Integrative Omics (AI & IO) analysis 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. 45 min presentation and 15 min discussion.  \n\n\n\nAbstract \n\n\n\nThe MIDA (Methods for Image Data Analysis) group\, at Dept of Information Technology\, Uppsala University\, focuses on development of methods which address challenges of biomedical visual data analysis\, while also being broadly applicable to other types of images. I will give a short overview of our different research projects and collaborative initiatives\, and will then focus on our experiences and results in multimodal (bio)image analysis.  \n\n\n\nMultimodal imaging gives an opportunity to collect diverse and complementary information about a specimen\, enabling a deeper understanding of complex systems and phenomena. This advantage comes at the cost of a typically very demanding and challenging data analysis. Successful correlative analysis of the collected data requires accurate automated alignment of multimodal images and efficient information fusion to maximize the gain from the available heterogeneous and complementary content. I will present our results in this context and will discuss our experiences gained in method development and their application.

SUMMARY:When viral RNA met the cell: a story of host-virus interactions
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Professor Alfredo Castello \n\n\n\nBiography\n\n\n\nAlfredo is a biologist by training and holds a PhD in Molecular Biology from the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid. He completed his postdoctoral training at the EMBL in Heidelberg\, where later he became a staff scientist. In 2014\, he was recruited as a Principal Investigator in the Department of Biochemistry at the University of Oxford. Later\, in 2020\, he joined the MRC-University of Glasgow Centre for Virus Research (CVR) as a Senior Lecturer and since 2022\, he became Professor in Systems Virology at the same institution. In 2021\, Dr. Castello was awarded an ERC Consolidator Grant. Additionally\, he has received funding from several prestigious agencies in the UK and the EU\, including the Wellcome Trust\, the Medical Research Council (both a Career Development Award and Research grant)\, and Horizon Europe. As a highlight of his work\, he set a fundamental stepstone towards the elucidation of the cellular RNA-binding proteome\, which has opened many new avenues of research in the RNA community. He recently applied his methodology to virus infection\, discovering a new universe of host-virus interactions controlling infection. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbstract\n\n\n\nRNA is a central molecule in RNA virus biology acting not only as a messenger RNA\, but also for storage of the genetic information as a genome. Over the last two decades it has become apparent that viral RNA is a hub for key host-virus interactions. For example\, viral genomes are too restricted in size to encode many of the molecular machineries required to metabolise the viral RNA. Just to provide some perspective\, a typical RNA virus would encode ~10 proteins in average\, while the ribosome\, the machinery required for protein synthesis\, is composed by over 80 proteins and 3 ribosomal (r)RNAs. The lack of these critical cellular machineries makes viruses reliant on host resources\, stressing the importance of cellular RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) contributing to the metabolism of viral RNAs. The cell also possess an arsenal of RBPs with the role of sensing viral RNAs and triggering the antiviral response. Unfortunately\, the methods to study these host-virus interactions globally and with molecular details have only started to emerge. My talk will elaborate in the application of these methodologies while exploring two research lines derived from our research: i) why cellular mRNAs are often degraded as a consequence of infection and ii) why a subset of nuclear RBPs travel to the cytosol upon infection with cytoplasmic viruses. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHost: Eduardo Sagredo Campos
