Research into cell droplets: New hope for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases

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.

Rector Prof. Ursula Staudinger, TU Dresden

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