Talk and Exhibition "Breathing at High Altitude" - Speaker: Prof. Thomas Leonard

Max Perutz: a not so quiet life

  Tue, 31 May - Tue, 31 May 2022
  University of Vienna, Marietta Blau lecture hall and courtyard (Arkadenhof), Universitätsring 1

Max Perutz’ scientific journey from the Theresianum in Vienna to the Cavendish Laboratory in Cambridge arguably laid the foundations of modern molecular biology. Awarded the Nobel Prize in 1962 for his work on hemoglobin, Max’ legacy continues today at the research institute that bears his name in the city where he was born.

You will hear about Max’ natural curiosity, the scientific question that he dedicated most of his life to answering - how does hemoglobin transport oxygen? - and the tireless perseverance required to achieve his goal.

Join us on an exhilarating adventure into the mountains, where the views are breathtaking and the summit is simply staggering.

Date: May 31, 2022
Time: 18:00 - 19:00

Location: University of Vienna, Marietta Blau lecture hall and courtyard (Arkadenhof), Universitätsring 1, 1010 Vienna
