The Medix Prize by the
Minerva Foundation is an important annual award for internationally high-level
Finnish medical research. The Medix Prize is, in a manner of speaking, the
Finnish championship for biomedicine. This year the Medix Prize will be awarded
for the 38th time.
The Medix Prize is awarded by the University of Helsinki and is donated to the university by the Minerva Foundation, which funds the Minerva Foundation Institute for Medical Research at Biomedicum Helsinki.
Biostatistics drop-in 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 first workshop of this term is on Wednesday 9th October, 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.
The autumn's following sessions are planned for 23.10, 6.11, 20.11, 4.12 & 17.12.
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.
