SCHOOL OF EXCELLENCE
Young Investigators trained at the Institut du Cerveau in Paris. During the week-long school entitled Brain to Market Summer School 2023, combining neuroscience with the basics of entrepreneurship. Throughout the week, they worked in teams to create innovative solutions related to Alzheimer’s disease.
On the first day of the training, they had the opportunity to familiarize themselves with the pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease, learned about the latest trends in research on the detection and treatment of Alzheimer’s. The following day, they learned the basics of entrepreneurship – how to secure funding for project development and what solutions are in demand in the market.
Projects were supervised by specialists in the field of neurobiology and marketing. Young Investigators had the opportunity to participate in individual training sessions with each of the mentors.
In addition to scientific activities, training participants also had numerous opportunities to establish new contacts, including at a meeting of Young Investigators working at the Paris Brain Institute.
SCHOOL OF EXCELLENCE
On the last day, each of the 8 groups had the opportunity to present their project to the jury. The committee assessed, among other things, whether the researchers correctly defined the problem they chose, the scientific foundations of their idea’s implementation, and the market analysis. Each group had only 10 minutes to present their proposed solution, and then they had to face a series of probing questions from the jury. Among the solutions proposed by the teams were ideas for applications to improve patient communication with medical caregivers, interactive safe homes for patients and their families, and proposals for new methods of early Alzheimer’s disease detection.
We are also pleased to inform you that the project of the group where Karolina Cierluk worked took first place in the competition, with their group project named Look – tracking the evolution of Alzheimer Disease (AD). Congratulation!
From Łukasiewicz – PORT the following Young Investigators participated in the training: Karolina Cierluk, Jakub Chwastek, Olga Pietrzyk, Müzeyyen Uğur, Ewa Mrówczyńska
With a relentless pursuit of knowledge, we unravel the complexities of the mind, unraveling the mysteries that hinder mental well-being. Join us as we pave the way for breakthroughs in neuroscience and offer hope for a brighter future
