Jesse Veenvliet and Ivey Sebastian from the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics bring order to chaos and illuminate the darkness.
Ever wondered how we come into existence from a bunch of cells? Dive into Jesse's research, where he uses stem cells to build embryo-like structures - called “Stembryos” - in a dish! This captivating technique sheds light on how cells communicate and organize to form an organism. Discover the behind-the-scenes research of how mammals build themselves.
Seeing is the beliving! Ivey's work focusses on how to make living proesses visible and measurable through the digital realm. Learn how she teaches computers to "see", by utilizing artificial intelligence. Computers train to recognize and analyze structures in images, like algorithms used in facial recognition. Discover how this innovative approach unveils the unseen, showcasing its diverse applications.
The event will be held in English. Admission is free.
