Ifeoluwa Gbala
researcher ICGEB
Postdoctoral researcher at ICGEB Trieste, driven to unravel host–pathogen interactions and translate discoveries into impactful therapeutics. Her work spans microbiology, molecular and cell biology, biotechnology, and translational medicine, guided by curiosity and real-world impact. Her focus on innovation has led to two patent applications, including a plant-extract DNA tracking dye and a recombinant defensin expression system with antimicrobial applications. Beyond the lab, she mentors young women entering higher education through IDG Space and supports women in STEM via WISH, fostering inclusive scientific communities. Dr. Gbala cultivates collaborations in therapeutics, particularly in antimicrobial resistance and infection-driven cancers, and welcomes bold ideas that can drive meaningful change.

Intelligence emerges across biological scales, from the adaptive behaviour of cells to the complex dynamics of neural circuits and whole organisms. We explore how “intelligence” manifests in health and disease, bringing together molecular pathology and neurodegenerative disease research. The panel examines how cells sense and respond to stress, how neural systems adapt or fail in ALS, and how this informs new therapeutic strategies. Connecting fundamental biology with clinical challenges and broader societal implications, the event aims to deepen public understanding and encourage dialogue.
