Noble Talks: Nobel Prize winner Prof. Dr. Venkatraman Ramakrishnan
Noble Talks
Public lectures
For its ‘Noble Gespräche’ series of public lectures by Nobel laureates, the institutes of Jena’s Beutenberg Campus invite renowned scientists who present their research to a varied audience in terms that laypeople can understand. The lectures, which are held twice a year, deal with current topics in science and technology.
Nobel Prize winner Prof. Dr. Venkatraman Ramakrishnan, Medical Research Council (MRC), Cambridge, UK, will talk about his own research, which has been a big deal in figuring out the structure and function of ribosomes, in his lecture called “My Adventures in the Ribosome.” He will also talk about his own career, during which he has lived on three continents, and explain how he came to molecular biology research from his initial training in physics. The lecture will be held in English. As part of this event, Beutenberg-Campus Jena e.V. will ceremoniously award honorary memberships to Prof. Hartmut Bartelt and Prof. Wilhelm Boland in recognition of their many years of commitment to the association.
