The programme is one of several initiatives to foster a diverse, gender-friendly and equal opportunities research environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The applications were assessed based on strict criteria: the academic excellence of the candidate, the originality of the project proposal, and the potential research impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-unilux-blocks-heading\"        id=\"dr-flor-de-guadalupe-ortiz-gomez\"\n    >\nDr Flor de Guadalupe Ortiz G\u00f3mez<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-unilux-blocks-heading\"        id=\"project-brainsat\"\n    >\nProject: BrainSat<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Current satellite systems are slow and inefficient, but BrainSat seeks to change this by introducing highly efficient processors that can handle massive amounts of data quickly and with much less energy. This breakthrough not only promises better satellite communication but also sets a new standard for AI applications in various fields, showing how advanced computing can transform space technology and beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cLearning that my BrainSat project had been selected for funding was incredibly rewarding. This recognition validates my hard work and dedication and marks an important milestone in my research journey. I\u2019m motivated to continue advancing satellite communication technology using neuromorphic computing.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"flex flex-wrap mt-24 -mx-16  wp-block-unilux-blocks-free-content-card\">\n    <\/ul>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-spacer is-spacer-size-sm\"><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-unilux-blocks-heading\"        id=\"dr-reka-markovich\"\n    >\nDr R\u00e9ka Markovich<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-unilux-blocks-heading\"        id=\"project-discreason\"\n    >\nProject: DISCREASON<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Automated Decision-making (ADM) can make legal processes faster and more consistent, potentially reducing biases. However, ensuring these systems are transparent and accountable is crucial for maintaining trust. The DISCREASON project&#8217;s efforts to address the challenges of using AI in discretionary legal decisions could lead to more reliable and fair applications of AI in law, ultimately benefiting society by making legal decisions more predictable and equitable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cI am very glad since I am eager to work on this topic!

Recent research suggests that the gut microbiome, the community of microbes in our intestines, may influence how well patients respond to immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy. GUT-BOOST aims to explore this link by identifying specific microbial metabolites that either promote or inhibit CRC tumour growth. By understanding how these metabolites affect the immune system and engineering bacteria to release beneficial metabolites directly into the tumour environment, the project seeks to enhance the effectiveness of ICI therapy for CRC patients, potentially leading to more personalised and effective treatments in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cI am absolutely thrilled and honoured to be among the four awardees of the inaugural Marie Speyer Excellence Grants. I am excited to continue pushing the boundaries of scientific discovery and making a meaningful impact in the field of oncology.
