Phage Therapy: From the Laboratory to Real-Life Use
Matti Jalasvuori
Senior Lecturer, Department of Biological and Environmental Science, JYU
Antibiotic resistance has renewed interest in bacteriophages, viruses that infect bacteria, as potential treatments for difficult infections. Their ability to target specific bacteria offers opportunities for tailored therapy, but it also creates practical challenges: suitable phages must be found, matched to a patient’s infection, characterised, and produced to reliable quality standards. Legislation is also adapting to the use of modern biological drugs. This talk covers the development from laboratory to real-life applications.

Mathematics, inverse problems, and AI
Mikko Salo
Professor, Department of Mathematics and Statistics, JYU
I will give an introduction to the mathematics of certain X-ray, electrical and ultrasound imaging problems that are related to my recent ERC grant. I will also discuss the recent dramatic changes in mathematics, and also in my own research, caused by developments in AI.
