Program

5:30 pm - Reception and refreshments

5:45 pm - Guest talk: “SANO, technology transfer in neuroimaging”

The Brain and More lab (BAMlab) is a research group exploring the multifaceted world of neuroimaging research at our lab as we unravel the mysteries of Alzheimer's disease and brain tumors. This talk provides a glimpse into our cutting-edge work at the intersection of neuroscience and medical imaging, where we aim to deepen our understanding of these complex conditions. Beyond research, the lab is committed to translating these findings into tangible solutions, fostering innovation in the form of startup ventures. Discover how our team navigates the challenges of bridging the gap between laboratory discoveries and entrepreneurial endeavors, pushing the boundaries of medical science. Dr. Crimi will share their bumps into bio-design thinking applied to their field of research.
Moreover, deeply immersed in this journey, we will also consider the global south entrepreneurial landscape, including low-income countries. Learn about the initiatives that aim to empower individuals in resource-constrained settings, fostering a culture of innovation that transcends borders.

7:00 pm - Networking speed dating sessions

Speaker's Biography:
Dr. Alessandro Crimi is a biomedical engineer and health economist who alternated his career between neuroimaging and healthcare management in low-income countries.
He was born in Italy. After completing his studies at the University of Palermo, he obtained a PhD in machine learning applied for medical imaging by the University of Copenhagen, and an MBA in healthcare management by the University of Basel.
Alessandro worked as post-doctoral researcher at the French Institute for Research in Computer Science (INRIA), Technical School of Switzerland (ETH-Zurich), Italian Institute for Technology (IIT), and University Hospital of Zurich. In those institutes he
made significant contributions in the field of computational neuroscience. The post-doctoral years at European institutes were alternated by period lived in Ghana and other Sub-Saharan countries where Dr. Crimi taught and carried out in-field projects about healthcare management. He taught for 8 years at the African Institute for Mathematical Science (AIMS) in Ghana and South Africa the course of machine learning in medicine, where he also supervised numerous MSc theses. The projects he conducted in Sub-Saharan Africa were related to prenatal care, diabetes, malaria and HIV management using novel technologies as machine learning, image processing and social engineering.
Since 2021, Dr. Crimi moved to the Center for computational medicine in Poland, where is a principal investigator, he had to limit his engagements with AIMS to MSc thesis supervision.
Dr. Crimi is currently the head of the neuroimaging lab at Sano working on finding novel biomarkers related to brain diseases with new technologies as machine learning and quantum computing. Moreover, he is currently involved in activities for technology transfer to train immigrant and women with children towards entrepreneurship.
