Our guest today is Nina Patrick.

Nina is the co-founder and CEO of MiProbes Biotechnologies. MiProbes is a German startup that's building hardware-free, next-generation diagnostics, to empower users to make data-driven decisions about themselves. MiProbes has won the Global Health & Pharma Breakthrough Innovation Excellence Award and was a finalist for the Royal Society of Chemistry Emerging Technologies competition. 

In this episode, Nina tells us about her amazing journey from academic research to entrepreneurship- from drug discovery and synthesis to creating bacteria-based biosensors for diagnostics. 

She also tells us how she witnessed the medical diagnostics evolve rapidly as a response to the pandemic and her vision for the future of health monitoring!

Our guest today is Juni Singh, an economist who specializes in behavioural economics, networks and developmental economics.

Juni has had a rich and international scientific career: She holds a PhD from the Paris School of Economics; she was a researcher at MIT J-PAL and she is an incoming postdoc at CalTech. Besides academic research, Juni has also been a Researcher and Consultant at the World Bank where she worked on framing policy for global challenges.

In this conversation, Juni breaks down lab-on-the-field experiments in behavioural and network economics. She explains their long-term impact in understanding technology adoption, peer monitoring and long-term policymaking. She also shares how economics research is evolving to meet the challenges of the future – particularly those especially raised during the pandemic.

In this episode, we're going to talk about collaborative interdisciplinary research, with a focus on biophotonics. What unique advantages do specialists in diverse domains bring to interdisciplinary research? How will this ecosystem evolve in a post-covid world?

Our guest today is Pamina Martina Winkler, who is the perfect person to address these questions. Pamina has a Ph.D. in Photonics from ICFO in Barcelona and is an incoming postdoc at EPFL in Lausanne. A physicist by training, she talks about what drew her to life science research, the advantages physicists bring to interdisciplinary projects, and how she thinks biophotonics research will evolve in the future.

We also talked about the question every researcher asks after their Ph.D. - should I create knowledge by staying in academia or should I create value by moving to the industry? Pamina has an interesting perspective on this question. Stay tuned to find out in this episode of the research podcast!

Hi there!

I'm really happy to announce the launch of the Re-search Podcast. 

I'm Lipsa Nag, the host of this podcast. 

I've been a scientist, an entrepreneur and an innovation manager. Through The Re-Search podcast, I want to take you to the intersection of these three domains and show you how each domain will evolve in the future.

2020 was an unprecedented year for research and innovation.

In this podcast, I will sit down with experts to examine pandemic-related changes specific to their domains, their immediate effects of these sudden changes and which of these changes will ultimately lead to future discoveries and innovations.

I can't wait to share the first episode with you!
