One of the national services offered by NBIS/SciLifeLab is the Bioinformatics Peer review Support track (a.k.a. WABI), providing competences in large-scale data analysis for genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, Cryo-EM and other technologies. This support has been enabled by funding from the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation, and is part of the SciLifeLab & Wallenberg National Program for Data-Driven Life Science.

Anna Schandl is a registered nurse and has worked in intensive care in the Stockholm Region for many years. She is an associate professor in nursing and research group leader in the research group for Perioperative Care and Intensive Care at Södersjukhuset. Anna works with data collected from regional and national cohort studies, but also with qualitative research; something she uses as an advisor within Clinicum's network.

Magnus Boman is an AI professor at the Department of Medicine, Solna, at KI, and part of the AI@KI project – a strategic project initiated by KI's rector with the goal of collecting and describing all activities at KI related to artificial intelligence (AI). In addition, since 2023, Magnus has been involved in AI issues at MedTechLabs and as an advisor within Clinicum for research methodology involving machine learning.

Karolinska Institutet is hosting a symposium focused on how network medicine and artificial intelligence (AI) are transforming how we understand disease, develop therapies, and deliver patient care. The event will bring together leading researchers and clinicians to explore how network-based thinking and modern machine learning are moving biomedicine beyond traditional single-target approaches toward mechanism-based, patient-specific interventions.

Meet Nick Tobin, lecturer, principal researcher and docent at the Department of Oncology and Pathology at KI. Nick teaches in the subject area of Bioinformatics, but also runs seminars on various aspects of cancer including its hallmarks and the utility of cancer gene expression signatures in a clinical setting. Nick is one of Clinicum's advisors within Bioinformatics.

RNA is central to how cells function. Through the detailed study of RNA that combines molecular biology with advanced bioinformatics, Vicente Pelechano Garcia hopes to contribute to the development of a new generation of RNA-based treatment and diagnosis. Meet one of the new professors of Karolinska Institutet who will participate in this year's installation ceremony at Aula Medica on 9 October. 

In the spring of 2024, an invitation was sent to researchers to participate in an evaluation of Clinicum's method support. Of all those who used the support, 7/10 were very satisfied and 9/10 would recommend it to a colleague. Some of the reasons for the satisfaction were that many people refer to a high level of competence and pedagogical ability of the methodological advisers, as well as the possibility of getting help quickly. Helpfulness, friendliness, and flexibility are also highlighted.

On January 25, a method support day was organized by Clinicum to introduce researchers to the coordinated method support offered to researchers at KI and Region Stockholm. The meeting was held in the Sune Bergström Hall at Karolinska University Hospital.
