When: October 9th - 11th, 2024

Where: CRTD Auditorium & MPI-CBG

Program: the program overview and the link for registration.

• In October, the Faculty of Medicine at TU Dresden is launching a new series of events entitled “TUneD into Medical Science”. The aim is to invite renowned medical prizewinners to the Faculty for an intensive scientific exchange. The events offer insights into current research topics as well as the opportunity for scientists and young researchers to discuss their own topics and gain valuable inspiration. The series will be kicked off by Nobel Prize Laureate Prof. Thomas C. Südhof, German-American biochemist and neuroscientist. His research focuses on synapses as fundamental switching points of the nervous system. Together with his colleagues Randy W. Schekman and James E. Rothman, Südhof was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 2013 for his discoveries of transport processes in cells.                        From October 9^th – 11^th, 2024 there will be numerous opportunities to get to know him and his work better and to exchange ideas with him.
• On October 9^th, students and young scientists will have the unique opportunity to gain valuable insights into the research process – from the initial idea to publication – in the lecture hall of the Center for Regenerative Therapies (CRTD). Students will present three scientific papers from different decades of Nobel Prize Laureate Prof. Thomas Südhof’s research activities and discuss with him how innovative research can be turned into a successful publication. During the discussion, you will also have the opportunity to ask your own questions and be inspired by the experiences of a Nobel Prize Laureate. The event thus offers an ideal platform for anyone who would like to delve deeper into the world of research and publication.                                                   We look forward to your participation and an exciting discussion!                                 The event “From research to successful publication” will take place in English on Wednesday, October 9^th, 2024 from 10 a.m. in the lecture hall of the Center for Regenerative Therapies at TU Dresden (CRTD).                                                              
• Under the heading “Next Generation: Speed talks with young scientists”, four young scientists will present their current research results in the field of neuroscience in exciting power pitches. The presentations will be followed by a discussion with Prof. Südhof, who will provide feedback on the research topics presented from his scientific perspective. You are cordially invited to actively participate in the discussion. Take the opportunity to give the young scientists your feedback on the research topics presented and to discuss open questions with one of the leading neuroscientists of our time and take away valuable impulses.                                                                         The event “Next Generation: Speed talks with young scientists” will take place in English on Wednesday, October 9^th, 2024 from 2 p.m. in the lecture hall of the Max-Planck-Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics (MPI-CBG).

Everybody is welcome!!!
