Do you like scientific discussion? And how about Pizza?
If we gained your attention with ‘scientific’, or at least with ‘Pizza’, then you are already looking forward to the right event!
Pizza Club is a regularly held Journal Club event co-organized by The Representatives of the Doctoral Programme in Systems and Molecular Biomedicine, part of the Doctoral School in Science and Engineering (DSSE); and the Uni.lu student association ISCB RSG Luxembourg.
In short, Students (PhD candidates) present a scientific paper (+- 20 mins) they find interesting or that inspired the development of their individual PhD project (doesn’t need to be authored by the speaker).
There will be an open discussion round after each scientific presentation (2-3 students per event), followed by informal and fun chatting with some pizzas around!
- Presenter 1: Dominika KLIMEK (link: https://lu.linkedin.com/in/dominika-klimek/en)
Presenter introduction: Dominika is a microbiologist and third year PhD student at LIST. Her research project is centered on a group of bacteria that possess a wide diversity of enzymes acting on complex polysaccharides.
Article: “Papers and patents are becoming less disruptive over time” (link: https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-022-05543-x)
Article description: Innovative research is a rare gem. Nevertheless, there were times when science was great. What about today`s research? Is science becoming more unexciting and nondisruptive?
- Presenter 2: Parviel CHIRSIR (link: https://wwwen.uni.lu/lcsb/people/parviel_chirsir)
Presenter introduction: Parviel is a PhD student in the environmental Cheminformatics group.
Article: “Behavior Effects of Structurally Diverse Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances in Zebrafish” (link: https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.chemrestox.1c00101)
Article description: In this study, the authors examine the specific effects on behavior exhibited by zebrafish when exposed to a range of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) with varying chemical structures, providing insights into the behavioral toxicity of different PFAS compounds.
Moreover, each presentation of peer-reviewed papers will be rewarded by 0.5 ECTS!
