LSM Lecture Series
It is strongly recommended to attend these lectures during the first semesters of the doctoral study.
Proof of attendance is required, by signature of the host or speaker, (for LSM lecture series an attendance list will be brought in by student). Please download the external attendance list here.
LSM Seminar series!
Doctoral students will be given the opportunity to present their work in a casual, yet professional environment and receive critical and constructive feedback from their peers. These seminars do not count towards the LSM lecture series even though there is an attendance list! Students that give the talk, will then receive ECTS points towards the completion of the curriculum.

Prof. Hans-Henning Kunz. Title: Chloroplast ion homeostasis – a plant cell hub to sense and respond to environmental cues. |
| 28.04.2021 | Dr. Dejana Mokranjac. Title: The hitchhiker´s guide to the biogenesis of mitochondria. https://lmu-munich.zoom.us/j/91275009770?pwd=bzBwRy9yU3FLSS9qbytFNUEvZ1p3UT09 Meeting ID: 912 7500 9770 |
| 5.05.2021 | Prof. Simon Ringgaard. Title: The intracellular organization and adaptation of bacteria. https://lmu-munich.zoom.us/j/98192501286?pwd=aFFiWWp3aHRQS01yS0wrU0dqMHdsQT09 Meeting ID: 981 9250 1286 Abstract: We aim to study how bacteria sense, respond and adapt to changes in their environment. We further aim to study how bacteria are internally organized, with a particular focus on the molecular mechanisms driving the intracellular localization patterns of proteins over time and how proteins are targeted to specific sites within the cell in accordance with the cell cycle. The combination of these two overall aims leads us to study the intracellular localization of adaptation systems, such as the bacterial flagellum and chemotaxis signalling systems, and how these processes are regulated. Of specific interest for us are bacteria that adapt to changes in their external surroundings by initiating a specific cellular differentiation program, where changes between different cell morphologies and/or cell types increase the complexity of bacterial spatiotemporal regulation. |
