Dr. Bart Emmer, MD, PhD (m), is an interventional neuroradiologist in Amsterdam UMC and a board member of the subsection of neuroradiology of the Dutch society of radiology and Dutch delegate for the UEMS (Neuroradiology). He is the principal investigator of AIRBORNE, (Artificial Intelligence for early imaging Based patient selection in acute ischemic stroke), and CLEOPATRA, a healthcare evaluation study into the cost-effectiveness of CT perfusion in the selection of stroke patients for endovascular treatment.
I completed my neurology residency in Florence, Italy, where I developed a strong passion for clinical neurology and stroke care. Following this, I pursued a research fellowship at the Hemorrhagic Stroke Research Center, Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, focusing on MRI markers of cerebral small vessel disease, particularly in the context of intracerebral hemorrhage. After my fellowship in Boston, I completed a clinical fellowship and a PhD at Lille University Hospital.

In July 2022, I graduated as a medical doctor from the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens. During my first year in Switzerland, I worked as a neurology resident at the Rehabilitation Clinic REHAB Basel from 2022 to 2023. In October 2023, I began my PhD under the supervision of Professor M.Psychogios in the University of Basel . The main topic of the PhD is ICAD-related strokes and their acute treatment with Rescue Stenting.
Karol is an Associate Professor at Universidad Nacional de Colombia, coordinating the Insects for Peace initiative to promote social transformation through insect-based solutions. She leads the Insect Network within the Latin American Association of Animal Production and the Insectonomy project, which explores the multidimensional role of insects in agri-food systems. Her work focuses on insect farming for feed and food, circular economy models, and bioeconomy.
Marcel Dicke is professor of Entomology at Wageningen University, Wageningen, The Netherlands. His main interest is in the ecology of insects and insect ecosystem services with a focus on ecology-driven pest management, insects as food and feed and circular agriculture. In 2007 he received the Spinoza award (also known as Dutch Nobel Prize) for his research. His general interest is in using insects to solve societal problems and challenges.
