To encourage cross pollination of ideas between researchers from different disciplines, IceLab hosts interdisciplinary research lunches with the vision of allowing ideas to meet and mate. During the Lunch Pitch Season, the creative lunches take place at KBC, every other week.
Where: KBC Glasburen
Pitch 1: Aftab Nadeem, Research Fellow in the Department of Molecular Biology
Understanding the biology of bacteria pore-forming toxins
Interested in: collaborators to help find protein receptors and inhibitors for pore-forming protein toxins.
Pitch 2: Barbora Parizkova, Postdoctoral Fellow at the Department of Forest Genetics and Plant Physiology, UPSC, SLU
Organic nitrogen - a novel player in the field of sustainable agronomy
Interested in: finding collaborators to help develop a system of machine-learning-based high-throughput confocal image analysis of various stages or lateral root development - and any other out-of-the-box feedback.
Pitch 3: Jakob Hultgren, Associate Professor at the Department of Mathematics and Mathematical Statistics
Optimal transport and spatial information in signal processing
Interested in: cross-disciplinary collaboration - identifying real world problems in image processing, potentially within medicine, biology or other fields.
