When DNA Meets Artificial Intelligence

How does bioinspired research help straighten chromosomes and advance genetic diagnostics? For over 15 years, an interdisciplinary team of scientists from Poland, Australia, and China—led by Professor Edward Szczerbicki from the Faculty of Management and Economics at Gdańsk University of Technology and Professor Haoxi Zhang from Chengdu University of Information Technology in China—has been developing information systems inspired by nature, particularly by DNA.

Their research, initially focused on the development of so-called “decision chromosomes,” “decision genes,” and “Decision DNA,” opened new avenues in the field of information processing. Today, through the convergence of biology, computer science, medicine, and artificial intelligence, the team addresses one of the most ambitious challenges in contemporary medicine: the automation of karyotype analysis.

Work Without Labels – Managing Neurodiversity in a Teal-Colored Organization

brain
Researchers from Gdańsk University of Technology –Elżbieta Karwowska, PhD and Piotr Majewski (a second-cycle student) – have developed a concept for an organization that is both teal and neurodiverse. Their article, published in the prestigious journal Employee Relations, argues that management practices rooted in teal principles not only support organizational development but also address the specific needs of neuroatypical individuals, such as those with ADHD or autism.

Unlike traditional approaches, which aim to “fit” employees into normative frameworks, this concept proposes creating a space in which each person – regardless of their cognitive profile – can grow, be themselves, and contribute in unique ways. The article emphasizes that management grounded in autonomy, equality, and higher purpose may foster greater neurodiversity within organizations. This model could form the basis for future diversity and inclusion policies in the workplace.

Understanding open research for STM

Research funders, institutions and publishers are increasingly talking about Open Research. As a broad term which encourages accessibility, transparency and reproducibility of research and supporting information, Open Research includes the practices of sharing data, code, preprints, methods, or working in new ways such as Registered Reports. In this webinar, aimed at researchers in the sciences, we will present the core tenets of open research and give relevant examples. There will be time for discussion and Q&A.
