A rocky pathway in your body, a war within images, a secret role after an attack and the axis of influence - come find out

Most likely you know that your kidneys filter your blood..
but do you also know they could be responsible of loosing your teeth, breaking your bones or even convert your blood vessels into stone?
When kidneys get damaged, the balance of the substances in the blood gets disturbed because they can not be filtrated correctly and the amount of toxic compounds in the blood increases.
All organs in our body are interconnected, and these toxic substances that accumulate during kidney damage can make that the calcium from the bones gets to your vessels.

In our daily lives, Neural Networks are everywhere — from self-driving cars and facial recognition on our phones to large vision and language models. Since we increasingly rely on these systems, it is worth asking how efficient and stable they really are. When people talk about the stability of Neural Networks, the focus is often on improving robustness and developing defenses against malicious attacks, as in the case of self-driving cars. At the same time, designing new attacks can also help protect our data, for example from companies scraping information online. In this talk, we will explore how visual models work, the challenges they face in terms of stability and robustness, and how attacks and defenses are developed.

We’re told that food fuels our body — but what happens when that fuel suddenly runs low? Surprisingly, your immune system doesn’t just slow down… it adapts. In this talk, we’ll explore what really happens inside your body when you fast — how your immune cells respond, why this can sometimes reduce inflammation, and when it might actually make you more vulnerable to infections. From ancient traditions to modern science, we’ll separate hype from reality and uncover whether being hungry can ever be… healthy. No jargon, just fascinating biology — and a few surprises along the way.

Our immune system is supposed to protect us and fight on our side, right?
But in cancer, some immune cells can be hijacked and made to work against us.
We are focusing on tumors in the gut, and here’s the real question: could these hijacked immune cells in one organ quietly influence another organ, like the liver—even before a tumor fully develops? We are trying to understand this hidden communication and what it might mean for the early stages of colorectal cancer and its progression.
Join us to find out what we’ve discovered so far.
