The One Health Breakfast Club #27

Welcome to the One Health Breakfast Club 2 September between 8.00 and 9.00. You get a short inspirational talk, some breakfast, and a chance to meet and have transdisciplinary discussions with SLU colleagues. See you there!

Date: 2 September 2025

Time: 08:00 - 09:00

Organiser: SLU Future One Health

Location: Alnarp, Online, Umeå, Uppsala

Last day of registration: 26 August 2025

Participation fee: Free of charge

Each Breakfast Club starts with a short inspirational talk, and then it's up to you to mingle and take the opportunity to enjoy interesting transdisciplinary discussions and initiate new collaborations. Whether you see yourself as a One Health researcher or not, we promise you'll find something relevant. Almost all of SLU's research interests are linked to One Health!    

Program

  • 8.00-8.30 – Black soldier fly larvae bioconversion: bridging biowaste management and One Health with Evans Were, Postdoc at the Department of Energy and Technology in Uppsala.
  • 8.30-9.00 – Networking breakfast 

The focus of Evans's research is on the mechanisms and dynamics of infectious biological agents, including prions, bacteriophages, and spore-forming bacteria in the process of bio-conversion of biowaste using black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) larvae. Larvae of H. illucens remarkably convert biowaste into larval biomass (high-quality protein feed) and residue (biofertilizer) as end products. Understanding the dynamics of infectious biological agents within this process is crucial to ensure process safety and efficacy.

Most welcome,
