Public lecture: Why We Die: The New Science of Aging and the Quest for Immortality

He is one of the most influential figures in modern structural biology and was President of the Royal Society in London from 2015 to 2020. In his lecture, he will provide exciting insights into the latest findings in ageing research, the biological basis of ageing and the question of how far the dream of a longer or even immortal life really goes.
