As a Senior Researcher at the Adolphe Merkle Institute, University of Fribourg, Switzerland, Flávia Sousa's research work has been pioneering regarding the encapsulation of anti-angiogenic monoclonal antibodies and understanding the efficacy in treating glioblastoma by normalizing the tumor vasculature and microenvironment.
That's a wrap! After an exciting week full of personal encounters, scientific debates and inspirational talks, the 72nd Lindau Meeting has come to an end. The last day started with a boat trip from Lindau to Mainau Island hosted by the State of Baden-Württemberg. On Mainau Island, we had an engaging Panel Discussion on "Climate Change and Implications on Health", followed by farewell Addresses.
This year’s Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting is dedicated to Physiology/Medicine, so there was a wealth of topics on health and diseases; from rare diseases to those that often make the headlines.
From Myths to Molecules: Stem cells, CAR-Ts, and an Electric Nose
The Fountain of Youth is probably one of the oldest and most popular myths in human culture. The fountain itself may be a myth, but thanks to research in stem cells and other emerging technologies, some forms of rejuvenation may not be all that far away. At #LINO23, we got a chance to witness how the pioneering work of Nobel Laureates is continued by young researchers,
Today was the last day of #LINO23 in the meeting venue Inselhalle, as we will head off to Mainau Island tomorrow, where we celebrate the final day of this eventful week.
At #LINO23, Nobel Laureate Jacques Dubochet spoke about what it means to be a responsible scientist, while Harold Varmus presented his “Ten Axioms for a Life in Science.”
The Language of the Universe: A Journey Into Atomic Structures
Understanding atomic structures serves as a cornerstone of chemistry and biology. This knowledge is important from a practical perspective and has profound implications for various fields, from medicine and materials science to environmental studies and energy production.
Day four of #LINO23 began with this years final Science Breakfast on "CRISPR-Cas9: From Lab to Therapeutic Tool." Afterwards, Young Scientists once again had the opportunity to present their research in our Next Gen Science sessions.
A hot topic at #LINO23 has been AI, and its potential and pitfalls. Two sessions on Tuesday, 27 June 2023, delved into how AI will transform science and society.
Revisiting Immunity: Challenging and Pioneering Immunological Research at #LINO23
On Monday, 26 June 2023, two sessions focussed on immunology: Rolf Zinkernagel reviewed the current trends in this field, in occasion of the Next Gen Science Sessions, Young Scientists presented their projects regarding that topic.
