With scientific conferences forced to offer virtual programming and fewer face-to-face meetings within research groups and departments, the COVID-19 pandemic has interrupted or significantly altered many opportunities for discussing scientific advances and professional networking. This has consequences for trainees (PhD students and postdoctoral fellows) and young researchers, who are at a particularly impactful career stage. A new initiative from the K.G. Jebsen Center for Genetic Epidemiology seeks to provide a productive virtual experience emphasizing interdisciplinary scientific collaboration and trainee professional development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discussing cutting edge biomedical research<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

On the last Monday of each month, the K.G. Jebsen Center for Genetic Epidemiology\u2019s seminar series<\/a> will bring together a diverse array of scientific interests on the NTNU campus to discuss cutting edge biomedical research with international scientific leaders. The series is focused on, but not limited to, statistics, genetics, multiomics and computational biology approaches. By appealing to many disciplines, the series hopes to create connections between NTNU scientists who have not had the chance to interact during the pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mentoring conversation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Each virtual \u201cvisiting scientist\u201d will deliver a one hour scientific seminar with ample time for discussion and prioritized trainee questions. Directly after the seminar, a postdoctoral research fellow will facilitate a mentoring conversation between the visiting scientist and NTNU trainees and young researchers. This provides a dedicated time for exploring potential career options, training paths, and seeking candid mentoring advice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

International scientific leaders<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

So far, the seminar series lineup includes Professor Cecilia Lindgren<\/a> of Oxford Big Data Institute, Professor Samuli Ripatti <\/a>of Finnish Institute of Molecular Medicine, Professor Tuuli Lappalainen<\/a> of NY Genome Center and KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Professor Eleftheria Zeginni<\/a> of Helmholt Munich, Dr. Joelle Mbatchou<\/a> at Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc and Dr. Sara Pulit<\/a> at Vertex Pharmaceuticals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
