#9 ITW Dr. Nathasia Mudiwa Muwanigwa, Neurobiologist, Founder of Visibility STEM Africa

ITW Dr. Nathasia Mudiwa Muwanigwa, Neurobiologist, Founder of Visibility STEM AfricaAfrica produces countless brilliant minds in the STEM (Science, Technology, Engeneering and Medicine) and sent all around the World. What if an organization would exist to connect all these talents together, give them voice and promote their path in STEM and their accomplisments? With the help of a such organization, these brilliant minds could shine gloablly and be a role model for all the youth of Africa.This is the challenge Dr. Nathasia Mudiwa Muwanigwa took up. She cofounded VSA - Visibility STEM Africa.Visibility STEM Africa’s vision is to create an equitable, empowering and inclusive global network which supports and prepares Africans in STEM for a changing world that requires creative and innovative solutions. STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) fields play an integral role in our day-to-day lives and pervade every facet of modern day society.Until now, there have been very few efforts to amplify African voices within STEM and showcase the significant efforts being made across the continent and the Diaspora. VSA mission is to change this narrative and highlight the important contributions that Africans are making in STEM: «By sharing our stories with the world, in our own voices, we will inspire the next generation.»Beyond amplifying African voices in the STEM space, VSA platform aims to foster collaboration, facilitate the creation of outreach projects and most importantly, to create a visible and realistic path for the next generation of young Africans who want to pursue STEM careers.Dr Nathasia Mudiwa Muwanigwa is PhD in neurobology and conducts breakthrough research in the team led by Prof. Dr. Jens Schwamborn at the Luxembourg Center for Systems Biomedicine. Her research concerns the cellular and molecular mechanism of Parkinson disease with the use of mini-brains (organoïds) derived from human induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (hiPSCs).Discover her story in this new episode of Epistémê Entrepreneur.Dr Nathasia Mudiwa Muwanigwa: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nathasia-muwanigwa/VSA: https://www.visibilitystemafrica.com/----E² - Épistémê Entrepreneur300 ans avant notre ère, l'immense polymath grec Aristote définissait le mot épistémê comme étant une vertu, celle des Savants en action.Quoi de plus noble que de mettre la Science en action à travers une entreprise !Sans langue de bois, E² donne la parole aux scientifiques entrepreneurs pour qu'ils présentent leurs startups deep tech et partagent avec vous leur précieuse expérience.E² démystifie pour vous l’entrepreneuriat technologique.Nos invités vous parlerons de leurs parcours, leurs motivations, les problèmes critiques qu'ils ambitionnent de résoudre, les obstacles qu'ils ont surmonté et les challenges avenirs.Passion - Ambition - InnovationProfitez de l'expérience de vos aînés pour booster votre propre ambition.Alors qu'attendez-vous ?
