After the success of its first season, the Quantum Biology series gains a new batch of episodes — now focusing on medicine. Starting from May 7, five meetings will address various topics, such as the new perspectives of quantum sciences in oncology and their influences on the future of neuroscience.
With three guests per episode, the series is hosted by Marcelo Sousa, CEO of Bright Photomedicine and researcher at IDOR, and features doctoral students Pedro Alvarez (Universities of Oldenburg and Oxford) and Matheus Araña (Harvard Medical School and Polytechnic Institute of Paris).
Aimed at undergraduates, postgraduates, and researchers, the webinars are great opportunities for interaction with renowned scientists and professors in their fields, paving the way for collaborations and projects in various areas, including physics, biology, bioengineering, biotechnology, medicine, and environmental sciences.
The Quantum Biology series is a project of IDOR-Pioneer Science.
