Science4Everyone – Drug Screening: From the lab to the patient

Great science helps understanding diseases, but how do we translate this info into patient care? How do we develop patient-specific personalised medicine? How do we accelerate the discovery of new disease treatments? In my talk, I will introduce you to the concept of early drug discovery, and medication repurposing.

Science4Everyone – Yeast: the model organism expert in pizza baking

The use of yeasts as a model organism is not so dated. The evidence that yeasts and mammalian cells have genes that encode similar proteins encourages the possibility of studying the biological function of unknown enzymes in a more simplified and versatile unicellular model. Do not miss the opportunity to discover this amazing model!
