Ideas with passion and entrepreneurial spirit
The finalists presented innovative solutions for a better future at the University of Bonn's 5th ideas competition. A total of seven teams of students and researchers from the university made it through the preliminary selection and pitched their ideas to a packed hall and an expert jury at DIGITALHUB. Four of them ultimately received prizes from the jury and—for the first time—from the audience, which were donated by the University Foundation Bonn, Comma Soft AG, DIGITALHUB.DE, and Sparkasse KölnBonn.
New vulnerability of asthma immune cells discovered
Why do certain immune cells remain permanently active in allergic asthma – even in an environment that should actually damage them? A team from the University Hospital Bonn (UKB) and the University of Bonn has discovered that these cells only survive because they activate a special antioxidant protection mechanism. When this mechanism is blocked, allergic inflammation in mouse models decreases significantly. The results have now been published in the scientific journal Immunity.
Quantum sensors: Highly precise measurements in moving brains
What is happening in the brain during an epileptic seizure? How do nerve cells function after a stroke-induced paralysis? What happens in the heads of those suffering from Parkinson’s disease? Investigating these types of questions has been difficult up to now because patients had to keep still. However, Optical Pumped Magnetoencephalography (OPMEG) is making it possible to also scan the brain while the patient is moving. Prof. Dr. Dominik Bach, Hertz Chair for Artificial Intelligence and Neuroscience at the University of Bonn, is currently setting up this type of research infrastructure on the campus of the University Hospital Bonn (UKB) and will receive funding of almost four million euros over the next three years from the EFRE/JTF program run by the European Union and the state government of North Rhine-Westphalia.
