Speakers

Edgar Cardenas - University of Antwerp

Organoid Brightfield Image Therapy Screening

How the newest techniques in computer vision reveal the newest opportunities in personalized medicine and drug discovery.

 

Maxim Le Compte - University of Antwerp

Therapy response prediction for pancreatic cancer patients by integrating Orbits and patient-derived tumor organoids

In this study, we comprehensively unraveled the intra-patient response heterogeneity and intrinsic aggressive nature of pancreatic cancer on bulk and single-organoid resolution. We leveraged a fully characterized PDAC organoid panel (N = 8) and matched our artificial intelligence-driven, live-cell organoid image analysis with retrospective clinical patient response.

 

  

About the Lunch Talks

The Biomina Lunch Talks are an initiative of a number of young researchers in the biomina network and is sponsored by the Flemish Government.

We aim to stimulate the interaction between researchers from different disciplines who encounter bioinformatics and computational biology, and consequently we focus on a broad and multidisciplinary public. With this informal medium we would like to provide a platform where knowledge and experience can be presented and exchanged, across partners from both academia and industry.

In this manner we have had the pleasure to welcome speakers from various institutes such as the University of Antwerp, the Institute of Tropical Medicine, Janssen Pharmaceutica, the Antwerp University Hospital and Open Analytics.

Last but not least, these sessions can provide a great opportunity for young researchers to acquaint themselves with new ideas and methods in the field of bioinformatics and medical informatics.
