Date and time: Nov 29, 2022 09:00 - Nov 29, 2022 16:30

Organiser(s): Centre for Palaeogenetics (SU) and Swedish Museum of Natural History

Venue: Small Auditorium, Swedish Museum of Natural History

Description:
The possibility of studying humans, animals, plants, and other forms of life that lived in the past using DNA analysis is providing new insight into history, often with important implications for understanding our contemporary world. Ancient DNA can support investigation of e.g. prehistoric migrations and interactions, cultural practices, and development of agriculture, as well as research into evolution, ecology, and biodiversity.

This symposium is organized to present the forefront and breadth of ancient DNA analysis and its value in context of other information in order to facilitate cross-disciplinary projects.

The event is organized by the Centre for Palaeogenetics at Stockholm University and Swedish Museum of Natural History, in collaboration with SciLifeLab Ancient DNA unit and the National Genomics Infrastructure.

Date and time: Nov 30, 2022 09:00 - Nov 30, 2022 11:00

Organiser(s): DDLS Steering group

Venue: Online event

Description:
The SciLifeLab and Wallenberg National Program for Data-Driven Life Science (DDLS) is a national 12-year research program that involves 11 partner organizations, collaborators nationally and internationally, the Swedish life science community, industry, healthcare, and other stakeholders in society at large.

During the program, more than 250 PhD students and 200 postdocs in academia and industry will be recruited to facilitate collaborations across sectors and disciplines. The DDLS academic and industrial PhD students and postdocs will all be enrolled in the DDLS Research School promoting acquisition of high competence and skills. This is to meet the future needs within data-driven life sciences, industrial R&D, health care and society. The DDLS Research School will be launched in 2024.

Now, both well established companies, small and medium-sized enterprises, within the data-driven life science sector as well as academia, are invited to partake in this event and contribute to the future of the program.

Date and time: Dec 7, 2022 12:00 - Dec 8, 2022 12:00

Organiser(s): SciLifeLab

Venue: Sune Bergström Aula, BioClinicum, New Karolinska University Hospital

Description:
Welcome to the first in-person symposium in data-driven precision medicine and diagnostics (PMD) research area. Listen to the Data Driven Life Science (DDLS) fellows recruited in this research area and expand your network with international and national colleagues.

The data-driven precision medicine and diagnostics symposium on December 12, 2022, is the first in-person symposium in the research area of precision medicine and diagnostics of the DDLS program. This meeting brings together the community in precision medicine and diagnostics and researchers who implemented artificial intelligence and machine learning applications in their research in PMD to improve human health and diagnostics, introduces newly appointed DDLS fellows in the PMD research area, and provides opportunities for networking across the research community and the SciLifeLab infrastructures. We are excited to host three international keynote speakers and welcome the community to join us. Hopefully, this event will inspire you on the potentials of data-driven precision medicine and diagnostics in Sweden.

Date and time: Dec 13, 2022 15:00 - Dec 13, 2022 16:00

Venue: Friessalen

Description:
Evolution in Sweden is a biannual meeting, which broadly gathers evolutionary biologists working in Sweden. The meeting was held in Uppsala 2014, Lund 2016, Stockholm 2018, and Gothenburg 2020. The host for 2023 is Evolutionary Biology Centre, at Uppsala University. The meeting is aimed to be a broad meeting on every aspect of evolutionary biology of all forms of life on Earth. However, please note that the meeting is restricted to scientists active in Swedish academic departments.

This year the Evolution in Sweden conference is organized together with the Evolution and Biodiversity research area from the Data-driven life science program (DDLS), part of a 12-year SEK 3.1 billion initiative from the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation. We encourage researchers working with analysis of large data sets in the fields of evolution and biodiversity to attend.
