On 19-20 October 2026, dr hab. Umesh Kalathiya – Structural Proteomics Research Group Leader and Sachin Kote – Clinical Peptidomics Research Group Leader, participated in the 5th Interdisciplinary Science Conference – FNP Connect, held in Warsaw and organised by the Foundation for Polish Science (FNP).
During the conference, dr hab. Umesh Kalathiya presented a poster entitled “Structural Proteomics Mapping the Nonsense-mediated mRNA Decay Networks” and dr Sachin Kote presented a poster entitled “Clinical Peptidomics: Pioneering Cancer Immunotherapy, Diagnostics and AI-Ready Datamine at ICCVS”, showcasing the Centre’s research at the intersection of clinical peptidomics, cancer immunotherapy, diagnostics and artificial intelligence.
The conference brought together researchers, representatives of industry, investors and other members of the innovation ecosystem to exchange experiences, explore opportunities for collaboration and discuss the challenges of bringing research closer to practical applications.
The programme featured discussions on technology transfer in environmental and medical fields, the future of Polish science, and the journey from research projects to market-ready solutions.
Events such as FNP Connect provide valuable opportunities for interdisciplinary dialogue, networking and sharing perspectives on how scientific discoveries can move beyond the laboratory. These topics are also closely connected to the objectives of ICCVS and its SWIFT project (Science for Welfare, Innovations and Forceful Therapies), which aims to advance cancer research towards clinical applications.
The SWIFT project is funded under the International Research Agendas (IRAP) programme of the Foundation for Polish Science (FNP), with support from the European Funds for a Smart Economy 2021–2027 (FENG), Priority FENG.02 – Innovation-friendly environment, Measure FENG.02.01 – International Research Agendas.
