Skills for Scientists meets Tigen at the Biopôle Lausanne Academic vs. industrial career? . We were welcoming a group of PhD students, postdocs, and researchers from the University of Lausanne - UNIL and the CHUV | Lausanne university hospital in our Tigen office and lab in Epalinges and had an open and lively discussion about the life in academia vs. “the industry”. The presentation about Tigen as a biotech company by Marianna Mainardi Koga was a good springboard for the debate.   What is a reasonable career path? What is the job security in academia vs industry? How to move from academia to the industry? What is Tigen actually doing? What is a good job application?... many questions that helped close the perception gap between academia and the industry. While there are many similarities, the beauty of owning a publication from A-Z in your academic journey (as an example) is offset by intense multidisciplinary problem solving in a team structure in the biotech industry.   The Tigen team of UNIL alumni Marianna Mainardi Koga, Sérgio Ribeiro, Charlotte Théroude, Florent SIERRO and Therese Choquette (former Vallerskog) are happy to open our doors for the next Skills for scientists’ group. Huge thanks to the Skills for Scientists team for orchestrating the opportunity Slavica Masina and Daniela Cropp. #innovation #collaboration #research #academia #biotech #smartcells #fightcancer

Spheroids are three-dimensional (3D) cellular models that show widespread application across academic and industrial research groups. PhD student and Fonds Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek - Vlaanderen (FWO) fellow Eva Blondeel, affiliated with Universiteit Gent, is collaborating in the MISpheroID consortium as part of her doctoral project, which aims to improve the interpretation and reproducibility of spheroid experiments. Find out more about the interesting research of Eva Blondeel and many other researchers at the Joint 3R Symposium! More information about MISpheroID, a crowdsourcing knowledgebase that assembles experimental parameters of more than 3,000 published spheroid-related experiments, is available at https://mispheroid.org/. #biomedical #research #nonanimalmethods #animalreplacement #organoids #spheroids

The future of research lies in the dynamic intersection of varied fields, where the fusion of diverse expertise ignites innovation and drives significant breakthroughs. To hit the ground running, PhD scholars must now consider whether a narrow specialty or cross-disciplinary PhD research project is going to better equip them to achieve their goals. Discover how interdisciplinary PhD programs are redefining research paradigms and creating a new era of scientific innovation in this #Cosmos article.

Celebrating life science is what we do at Oxford Global! And we are delighted to announce the newest celebration: the Young Scientist Awards (YSA) for Best Poster Presentation at the upcoming NextGen Omics 2023 event. These awards are intended to honour outstanding individual performance for scientific work by PhD students, post doctorates, and early-career scientists. Taking place on the 9th and 10th of November at the ExCel London, NextGen Omics 2023 will bring together leading experts in the field of omics research. As part of this event, we are inviting submissions for the Best Poster Presentation Award in the following categories: -Clinical Genomics -Clinical Diagnostics -Multi Omics Data & AI -Single Cell Omics -Spatial Omics -Synthetic Biology To be considered, poster presentations must be submitted no later than the 6th of October 2023. All submissions will be reviewed by a panel of judges, and the six winners will be announced at the drinks reception on the 9th of November 2023, with presentations taking place on the 10th. We encourage all eligible individuals to submit their work and showcase their research to the wider scientific community: https://bit.ly/4756rZo #OmicsSeries23 #NextGenOmics2023 #ClinicalGenomics #ClinicalDiagnostics #MultiOmicsData #SingleCellOmics #SpatialOmics #SyntheticBiology #OGYoungScientistAwards

Exciting News! 🚀 👨🔬 👩🔬 The German Research Foundation (DFG) announced last week its commitment to support the Collaborative Research Centre (#CRC) 1182, "Origin and Function of Metaorganisms," at #Kiel University for a third funding phase spanning the next four years. This substantial backing, totaling 13.4 million euros, will allow the research teams to bring their innovative research program to fruition within the maximum 12-year funding period for CRCs. 🔬In this final funding phase, the goal of the CRC will be to leverage the wealth of knowledge accumulated over the last 8 years to bring our understanding of #metaorganisms to a new level. The CRC will develop methods for the predictable manipulation of the microbiome to obtain an integrated understanding of biology and translate this insight into innovative approaches for the betterment of human #health. 🌐This resounding show of support from the DFG reaffirms the role of this interdisciplinary research network at Kiel University and underscores the importance of #MetaorganismsResearch as a whole.

🏆 Carnot Partnership Research Prize 2022 for Young Researcher Excellence! 🌟 Minos Biosciences head of biology Gaël Blivet-Bailly just received the prestigious Carnot Price designed by Strate, Ecole de Design for his outstanding partnership project! 🎉👏 In 2022, Le Réseau des Carnot launched the inaugural edition of the Carnot Partnership Research Prize, a recognition aimed at highlighting outstanding research collaborations between Carnot institutes and businesses. Gaël Blivet-Bailly's project, "From Genes to Cellular Functions," stood out among the impressive entries. This achievement not only underscores Gaël Blivet-Bailly's dedication to cutting-edge research but also highlights the importance of collaborative efforts in advancing scientific frontiers. #Recherchepartenarial #ResearchInnovation #ScienceAdvancements #CellularAnalysis

- We need to make more life science companies aware of the Research Infrastructures and how they can offer opportunities and new approaches for companies’ R&D journeys, including advanced know-how and technology for sample production and preparation. By doing so, we will also “light the beacon” and further establish not only Medicon Valley but the Nordics as a go-to place for cutting-edge life science R&D, says Niels Abel Bonde, Chairman of Medicon Valley Alliance in the newly published Nordic Life Science Magazine. Niels Abel Bonde also highlights the coming Fehmarn belt fixed link as another strong argument to develop joint strategies around resources and expertise in the Öresund-Kattegat-Skarrak (ÖKS)-Hamburg region. He mentions how HALRIC is also working to establish a forum for strategic life science discussions and that Medicon Valley Alliance is excited to take part in this development with other partners such as the Freie und Hansestadt Hamburg, Region Skåne and Medicon Village. - From a Medicon Valley perspective, I can only agree and reinforce ‘that we have so much going for us in this area,’ as Vice-Chancellor at Lund University, Erik Renström, said at a recent conference when he explained how the two giant microscopes (MAX IV Laboratory and European Spallation Source ERIC) open new avenues for innovation in material science and life sciences and highlighted how #HALRIC is enhancing collaboration at the infrastructures by connecting universities, hospitals, science parks and private enterprises throughout Scandinavia and down to the Hamburg Area. Medicon Valley Alliance is one of HALRIC's 21 project partners working to facilitate 75 pilot projects during the coming three years, of which half are expected to have industry involvement.
