Light-switchable molecules are an integral part of our daily lives. For example, they enable one of the central forms of our perception: vision. By absorbing light energy, these molecules can change their structure. This change ensures that signals are transmitted to the brain via nerve cells. The incorporation of molecular light switches into future drugs opens up fascinating possibilities for the temporal and spatial control of drugs.

Prof. Dr. Judith Simon from the University of Hamburg will be speaking. She will talk about current challenges and ethical issues in information technology.

We are pleased to invite you to the lecture 'The Role of CERN in Science Diplomacy' by Charlotte Warakaulle, CERN's first Director for International Relations. The talk will be held in English, but questions and discussions can be conducted in German afterwards. Ms. Warakaulle will discuss the importance of scientific collaboration across borders and the role of CERN as a model for science diplomacy.

FIAS Fellows Dr Nadine Flinner and Prof. Dr Peter Wild talk about AI methods in molecular diagnostics and the active collaboration at FIAS, Goethe University and in the Rhine-Main research environment.
