The fat expert returns

Exciting content, understandable Language entertaining presentations—this is how TUM@Freising brings science to the city. Meet researchers from the TUM School of Life Sciences in person and learn about their work. A discussion following each Lecture expressly encouraged.

Admission begins at 6:30 p.m., and entry is free.
No prior registration is necessary.

The speaker:
Alexander Bartelt (*1982) focuses on the molecular biology of metabolism and how it goes awry in obesity, fatty liver disease, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. He has made important discoveries about the molecular functioning of fat metabolism, fat cells, and their interaction with the immune system. Through his work on nutrition, energy metabolism, and thermogenesis, he is helping to shed light on how weight gain and loss are regulated at the cellular level. His work places metabolic adaptation to stress factors at the center of the pathogenesis of complex cardiometabolic diseases.

Science - explained for everyone: Meet researchers from the TUM School of Life Sciences in person and find out what they are working on. A subsequent discussion after each Lecture is expressly encouraged, because science thrives on the exchange of opinions.

The aim of the event is to bring people together - citizens can get to know the people at "their" TUM better and learn more at the same time, while science receives valuable impetus for its research work through direct feedback from the population. The close cooperation between the city of Freising and the TUM Weihenstephan campus, which has existed for many years, is now becoming tangible in the city and region.
