Körber-Lecture@TUD Prof. Anthony A. Hyman
Research into cell droplets: New hope for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases

Lecture and discussion in German

In 2022, cell biologist Prof. Anthony Hyman of the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics (MPI-CBG) was awarded with the Körber European Science Prize – one of the world's highest endowed prizes – for the groundbreaking discovery of a completely new state of biological matter: condensates. The discovery could hold the key to treating neurodegenerative diseases such as ALS and Alzheimer's. On September 12, Prof. Hyman will hold a public lecture at 6:00 pm followed by a reception in the Heinz Schönfeld Lecture Hall.

This event represents the first collaboration between TU Dresden, the Körber-Stiftung and the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics.

Welcome address:
Rector Prof. Ursula Staudinger, TU Dresden

Introduction:
Matthias Mayer, Head of Department Science at the Körber-Stiftung
