INSIGHT INTO SCIENCE - Research at MPI-CBG on Alzheimer's Disease and Retinal Degeneration

This new series of Science Cafés entitled "Insight into Science" presents research performed at the MPI-CBG. You are welcome to hear scientists tell you what they work on, why that is important, what it could mean for the future, and why they are so passionate about it.

Elisabeth Knust's lab is interested in a protein complex that is essential to prevent light-induced retinal degeneration in Drosophila.

Kai Simons studies neurotoxic plaques in the brain that are produced by a secretase and are characteristic for Alzheimer’s disease.

Guests this time are:

Elisabeth Knust, Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics Dresden
