Biostatistics workshop
Are you a researcher needing support with any statistical aspect of your work? The Biostatistics Consulting Service here at Meilahti Campus holds drop-in workshop sessions every other week to answer smaller questions about your analysis - solving a particular problem, how to get started, etc. We provide service in Finnish, English and Swedish.
The next workshop is on Wednesday 31st January, at 13:00-15:00 in Biomedicum 2B, in the Olohuone on floor 6. Come whenever you can. Note that you may end up waiting a while for your turn, especially early on in the session. We aim to spend no more than 15 minutes with each customer.
Bring:
· your computer
· your data
· your questions
and we biostatisticians will be on hand to help and guide.
Registration is not required, but you can help us prepare for your questions by filling in this form. The workshops are open to any researcher at the university's Medical Faculty, HUS or FIMM.
Sessions are planned to continue roughly every other week throughout the spring: 14.2, 28.2, 20.3 (note 3-week interval), 3.4, etc.
For more in-depth questions, please book a one-on-one consultation session using this e-form where we will have time to go into more detail.

HiLIFE webinar / Viikki Monday Seminar: Rodrigo Cogni
The antiviral effects of the symbiont bacteria Wolbachia in insects
Rodrigo Cogni: I got my B.Sc. degree in Biology in 2001 and my M.Sc. in Ecology in 2003, both at Universidade de Campinas in Brazil. I obtained my Ph.D. in Ecology and Evolution at Stony Brook University in the USA in 2010. I worked as a postdoctoral associate in Evolutionary Genetics at Stony Brook University from 2010 to 2012, and at Cambridge University, UK, from 2012 to 2014. In 2014 I returned to Brazil to join the faculty of the Ecology department at Universidade de São Paulo. I am interested in natural selection and evolution of adaptations. I combine genomic techniques, variation in natural populations and experimentation to study fundamental questions in this research area. In general, the main goal of my research program is to study the ecological pressures in the wild that influence the patterns of variation at the genomic level and result in the evolution of adaptations. I am interested in adaptations to the abiotic factors of the environment, as well as adaptations to ecological interactions.
