We invite researchers (especially PhD students and postdocs) from all branches of the life sciences to participate in the one-week Lorentz workshop Life Sciences with Industry 2019 in Leiden: 11-15 November 2019. During the workshop, 24 participants will tackle four scientifically challenging and commercially important problems formulated by the following four companies.
Ausnutria – Interactive app for maternal and offspring health
DSM – Search for new enzymes for sustainable use of industrial waste streams
Shell – Improving biodegradation assessment of chemicals for a greener future
Solynta – Potato CRISP(R)s
For a full description of these challenges: https://www.lorentzcenter.nl/lc/web/2019/1199/info.php3?wsid=1199&venue=Snellius
The workshop will take place in Leiden in the building of the Lorentz Center, an organisation that is specialised in organising scientific workshops (http://www.lorentzcenter.nl/).
To create multi-disciplinary teams, participants will be selected based on their (i) contribution to the case and (ii) motivation to participate.
