Science in the City Hall
Prof. Dr. Alexander Link, Head of the Section of Molecular Gastroenterology and Microbiota-associated Diseases at the Clinic for Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Infectiology Magdeburg, will be a guest lecturer on November 28, 2022 as part of the event series „Wissenschaft im Rathaus“. The topic is "The role of molecular factors and the microbiome in the development of gastrointestinal tumors."
The digestive tract plays an indispensable role in numerous physiological processes, such as the supply of the body with energy, building materials and also as an immune organ. It is an organ system that is exposed to extreme stress. Multiple factors such as age, nutrition, micro- and macroenvironment can lead to a disturbance of the functioning system, which among other things contributes to the development of inflammatory or malignant diseases. In this lecture, you will gain insight into the latest molecular research of the gastrointestinal tract and microbiome.
Participation in the event is free of charge. In order to plan space capacities, advance registration by telephone is requested at the Municipal Adult Education Center at 03 91/5 35 47 70.
