G protein-coupled receptors

October 12 @ 7:00 pm – 8:00 pm

n this lecture, the Nobel prize winner Prof. Kobilka gives us an insight into the family of G -Protein-Coupled-Receptors (GPCR), the largest family of cell surface receptors. Given the role in regulation of all aspects of human physiology GPCR are the main target of today’s pharmaceuticals. He will discuss approaches to characterize the structure and mechanistic activation of GPCR at molecular level.

To keep you up to date, we established a new Instagram and Twitter page to inform you about the next talks and publish some funny science memes. Check it out!

“Can we ever treat Alzheimer’s disease?“

Prof. Dr. Dr. Haass currently researches the neurodegenerative Alzheimer’s disease. He will present the latest results of his studies to us! The lecture will be held on December 03rd at 7:15 p.m. The lecture will be held online.

“Bottom-up approaches in origins of life research and synthetic biology”

Prof. Dr. Hannes Mutschler, since November 2020 Professor for Biomimetic Chemistry at the Technical University of Dortmund, will talk about the assembly of chemical systems and their importance for the origin of life on 17th November 2020, 19ct.

“Mutagenesis screens define unexpected roles of metabolism and protein synthesis in longevity”

Dr. Martin Denzel, the leader of the workgroup for Metabolic and Genetic Regulation of Ageing at the Planck Institute for Biology of Ageing in Cologne, will hold a talk on 5th November 2020, 19ct.

We are sorry to tell you but we have to postpone our talk with Prof. Dr. Dr. Haass to the winter semester due to the Corona-pandemic! As soon as we have a new date, we will announce it here and in the calender.

We are excited to announce that there will be new lectures in the following summer semester 2020! We will keep you updated when, where and who will be presenting the lectures.

“Poppelsdorfer Schlossgespräche” is a biomedical lecture series with speakers working in the industry, economy and science, organized by students of Molecular Biomedicine of the University of Bonn. The talks address diverse, current scientific and medical issues. They take place at the Poppelsdorfer Schloss or at the LIMES Institute in a casual atmosphere. After the lecture there is always time for a snack and inspired discussions.

Students of many disciplines, lecturers, employees of the university and other interested people are visiting the lectures. Up to now we have already welcomed Christiane Nüsslein-Volhard, Klaus Rajewski, Jules Hoffmann and Stefan Hell.

In 2007, the Poppelsdorfer Schlossgespräche were awarded with the Alumni-Gesellschaft Prize of the University of Bonn for being the best student initiative.

Any interested person is warmly invited to be a guest at the lectures.
