Symposium 2024 EN | Jung Stiftung

WELCOME!

We hereby cordially invite you to the 4th Jung Symposium "Excellence in human medicine 2024", on May 3, 2024 in the Ian K. Karan auditorium of the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf.

Can we alleviate balance disorders after strokes or in MS diseases if we decode the brain networks of balance? Can models generated by 3D printing contribute to better research into heart disease? How exactly is energy and sugar metabolism regulated by the central nervous system? And what mechanisms are used to break down fat in the cell? Exciting questions that have one thing in common: They are based on outstanding research work by talented young researchers and renowned personalities from the world of contemporary science, which have been awarded by the Jung Foundation. Anyone who is curious can find out the answers to these questions at the 4th Jung Symposium "Excellence in human medicine 2024": Metabolism researcher Professor Dr phil. Rudolf Zechner, endocrinologist Professor Dr med. Jens Brüning, cardiologist Dr med. Christine Maria Poch and neurologist Dr med. Maximilian U. Friedrich will provide exciting insights into their research findings and be available to answer questions.

Come and join us in presence in the Ian K. Karan auditorium, Campus Teaching, N55, University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf or watch the presentations from 13:00 via our livestream.
