Fascination Science public lecture Tuesday (26 March) - Demented yeast and obese flies
Our next lecture in the Fascination Science series will go ahead on Tuesday 26 March 7pm-8.30pm at Massey University's Auckland campus in Albany in the Sir Neil Waters lecture theatre.
Please join Prof. Sepp Dieter Kohlwein from the University of Graz, Austria for his talk on
Demented yeast and obese flies: model organisms in biomedical research.
What do obesity, diabetes, Alzheimer’s and cancer have in common? Their causes root in an imbalance of highly complex mechanisms that control thousands of biochemical reactions in trillions of cells in the human body.
The complexity of these processes demands the use of ‘model organisms’ in biomedical research, such as yeast, fruit flies, or roundworms, to obtain a better understanding of the underlying molecular mechanisms in healthy and diseased cells.
The elucidation of these processes in humans is a mere impossible task – and who would ever agree to experiments on their own body?
