Shinya Yamanaka, Nobel Laureate in Physiology or Medicine, will visit the University of Gothenburg on September 7. All students and employees are invited to attend the lecture. Registration is needed.
Shinya Yamanaka received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 2012 “for the discovery that mature cells can be reprogrammed to become pluripotent”.
He shared the Prize with Sir John B. Gurdon from Great Britain. Their work demonstrated that mature, specialised cells could be reprogrammed to become immature cells, so called “stem cells”, which in turn can grow into different types of cells within the body. This has revolutionised our view of the development of cells and organisms.
The lecture is a part of the Nobel Prize Inspiration Initiative, a global programme that brings Nobel Laureates to universities and research centres, to inspire and engage scientists at all stages of their careers.
Deadline for registration is September 1st, here: https://app.legaonline.se/form/Wallenberg/1447243?publicFormID=8746d35f-edcb-4d75-9fd4-6954c3903763
