Hosted at Marian Kennedy Fischer Hall, London–1-4 Suffolk St, London SW1Y 4HG

The University of Notre Dame (Indiana, USA) invites researchers and academic partners to a three-part academic series hosted at Notre Dame London, the University’s academic centre in the heart of the city. The series – including two one-day symposia and an evening public lecture – will explore network neuroscience and neuromorphic computing, mosquito circadian biology and photobiology, and antibiotic resistance. Join colleagues from the UK, Europe and the US to hear emerging research, exchange ideas and explore opportunities for future collaboration.

Upcoming Workshops, Lectures, & Symposium

Network Neuroscience (One-Day Symposium)

Date: Friday, October 2, 2026 | 09:00–18:15 Faculty Lead: Zoltan Toroczkai (Physics) Mind the Gap: Bridging the Architecture f Brains and Machines How can the architecture of the biological brain inform the future of artificial intelligence and computing? This one-day symposium brings together experts in network science, neuroscience, statistical physics, and neuromorphic engineering to explore new paradigms for efficient, biologically inspired computation. The event features researchers from the University of Notre Dame, Oxford, King’s College London, ETH Zurich, University of Lyon, and others

Circadian and Photo-biology of Disease Mosquitoes (Public Lecture)

Date: Tuesday, October 13, 2026 | 18:00-20:00 Faculty Lead: Giles Duffield (Biology) Explore the intersection of biological clocks, light, mosquito biology, and disease. This public lecture will examine how biological clocks and light-driven biology shape the physiology and behavior of disease-vector mosquitoes.

Antibiotics and Antibiotic Resistance (One-Day Symposium)

Date: Friday, October 30, 2026 | 09:00–18:15 Faculty Lead: Shahriar Mobashery (Chemistry) This one-day symposium addresses the global challenge of antibiotic resistance, focusing on mechanisms of resistance and the development of new therapeutics. The program features lectures by experts from France, Germany, the Netherlands, the UK, and the US, with a keynote by Christopher Schofield from the University of Oxford
