IOB hosts a mini-seminar on molecular changes in aging with two invited speakers from the Center for Healthy Aging at the University of Copenhagen.

Odd O. Aalen's contributions in fundamental concepts, methods, theories and instruments to modern statistical science during his long career are highly valued. He has been a key person in establishing biostatistics as a strong research field in Norway. On the occasion of his 70th birthday, colleagues, friends, collaborators, supporters and admirers wish to celebrate Odd with a symposium in his honour. The symposium will take place on the 11th and 12th of October, 2017, at the University of Oslo.

The talks will cover current topics in survival analysis, causal inference and infectious disease modelling.
