Since 1951, for
more than 70 years,
the Lindau Nobel
Laureate Meetings
support the exchange
between different
generations, scientific
disciplines and cultures.
Tiny but mighty: Quantum dots are being used to improve and refine the colours that we can see in television sets and in lighting. The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2023 is awarded to Moungi G. Bawendi, Louis E. Brus and Aleksey Yekimov for the discovery and development of these particles.
Claudia Goldin will receive the Economics Prize for her pioneering research that explained why gender differences in earnings and employment rates had changed over time.
Pierre Agostini, Ferenc Krausz and Anne L’Huillier will receive the 2023 Nobel Prize in Physics for their contribution to attosecond physics.
Lindau Alumna Chryso Th. Pallari is conducting research in the fields of epidemiology, infectious diseases, and public health.
Shatarupa Bhattacharya focuses on the genetic disorder thalassemia as well as on blood-borne infectious diseases such as malaria and toxoplasmosis. She shared her #LINO23 experiences and reviewed her career as a female scientist from India.
Lindau Alumnus Polat Goktas participated in the Physics Meeting 2016. Learn more about his experiences in Lindau and his professional odyssey, taking him from Ankara to the corridors of Harvard Medical School, and eventually leading him to the historic beauty of Dublin, focusing on various fields of artificial intelligence.
Greta studies how the critically important bacterial pathogen, Klebsiella pneumoniae, evolves inside human hosts during colonisation and infection and explores it can improve its biofilm formation.
Julia Gensheimer studies T cell development from hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells at UCLA. She hopes the findings will influence regenerative medicine and therapies for age-related diseases.
Our eyes are constantly moving, allowing us to process the world around us. Avi studies the eye movements we make as we move around our natural world and in environments like virtual reality. She is one of the “Women in Research” portrayed in the blog series by Ulrike Böhm.
Sandra Wagner, postdoctoral researcher and deputy group leader at University of Tübingen, Germany concerns nearsightedness, termed myopia,
Climate Change forces humanity to hurry to find solutions to make an impact at scale. Xiangkun (Elvis) Cao, Schmidt Science Fellow at MIT, Activate Fellow, and 2022 Lindau Alumnus, works in the field of carbon management as a component to address climate change.
Five Lindau Alumna 2023 who were interviewed for the blog series “Women in Research” reviewed their experiences in Lindau.
Alicia, Lindau Alumnua 2023, from Spain is a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellow at Université de Caen in France. Her research focuses on cancer genomics and the molecular basis of marine contagious metastasis.
Trishla Sinha, PhD student at the University Medical Center Groningen, aims to identify factors that shape the maternal and infant gut microbiomes and viromes, focusing on birth and environmental factors.
Liyana is a lecturer at University Sains Islam Malaysia. Her research focuses primarily on antimicrobial resistance (AMR) through understanding protein structure and functions.
In 1997, Svante Pääbo succeeded in sequencing parts of the mitochondrial DNA of a Neanderthal. This teaching unit introduces the field of palaeogenetics, which focuses on the genetic analysis of historical and prehistoric genetic material from fossils, mummified organisms, archaeological remains and other samples. This ancient DNA, also known as aDNA, provides important insights into past life forms and evolution.
This Topic Cluster introduces key observational techniques to specify the fundamental questions about the physics of space: Starting with measurement techniques in the visible light spectrum to methods for the determination of non-visible particles, such as the detection of cosmic rays or neutrinos, the Topic Cluster ends with the discovery of non-light signals caused by black holes. These ‘messengers from space’ provide central conclusions on the nature of cosmic large- and small-scale events.
Auctions are a predominant market strategy that determines price formation in many areas of life and the economy. This new lesson unit introduces students to new forms of auctioning public goods. In this context, recent research results of Nobel Laureates Robert B. Wilson and Paul R. Milgrom on the currently widely applied Simultaneous Multiple Round Auction (SMRA) are presented.
Charles M. Rice takes you through an abbreviated journey of the discovery of the hepatitis C virus. He shows the current state of research in terms of being able to treat the disease as well as the future barriers we still have to overcome. Despite the remarkable progress in the treatment of the hepatitis C virus, the disease remains a global challenge.
What lessons can be learned from the COVID-19 pandemic to successfully manage future health crises? This Topic Cluster explores the implications of the corona crisis for business, science and policy with contributions from Nobel Laureates Françoise Barré-Sinoussi, Aaron Ciechanover, Peter C. Doherty and Saul Perlmutter, among others.
Chemical reactions have often been discovered by accident. In his lecture given at the 1986 Lindau Meeting, Nobel Laureate Sir Derek H.R. Barton, who discovered what is known today to be the Barton reaction, describes several chemical reactions that do not obey the statistical laws of chemistry but have occurred by chance.
