Scientific breakthroughs often emerge at the intersection of disciplines. In this lecture, Pascal Mayer will explore how transdisciplinary thinking contributed to the emergence of Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) and how similar approaches are now driving the development of next-generation therapeutics.

Drawing on examples from genomics, biophysics, artificial intelligence, and systems biology, he will present innovative strategies for discovering safer and more effective treatments for infectious diseases, cancer, and other complex conditions.

The lecture offers a unique opportunity to learn how cross-disciplinary innovation is shaping the future of medicine and responding to emerging global health challenges.
