SFB 704: The Immune System: Effective Weapon and Potential Threat, 09.12.2009
What exactly do scientists do when they explore "Molecular mechanisms and chemical modulation of local immune regulation"? Why do they deal with, for example, organ resident cells and the migration of immune cells? What impact do certain diets have on the immune system? This the Collaborative Research Center 704 discusses these points. Podcast in German

Life sciences and culture in Bonn, 19.09.2008
The University of Bonn, in cooperation with Harvard University and the University of Wisconsin-Madison, invites outstanding undergraduate students to its novel study abroad programme, Life Sciences and Culture in Bonn.
The University of Bonn is among the top three research universities in Germany and a leader in biomedical research. The programme has been set up in close co-operation with the Collaborative Research Centre "Regulation and manipulation of information flow within dynamic protein and lipid environments" as well as the Life and Medical Sciences (LIMES) institute of the University. The programme combines laboratory research in biomedicine with the aquisition of intercultural skills in Bonn, a beautiful city with a profound international presence and a host city to the United Nations. Students actively participate in an intensive scientific project integrated into outgoing life science research activities at the university host lab.
