Dear colleagues and friends, 

We would like to invite you to a seminar by

Laszlo Nagy, M.D., Ph.D. (Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine)

TranslaTUM Small Auditorium, Einsteinstraße 25, 81675 München

Laszlo is an internationally recognized physician-scientist whose research has made important contributions to our understanding of transcriptional and epigenetic regulation of cell identity, with a particular focus on macrophage differentiation, polarization and plasticity. His laboratory investigates how transcription factors, nuclear receptors and chromatin remodeling coordinate macrophage responses to environmental signals during inflammation, tissue regeneration and disease.

Laszlo received his M.D. and Ph.D. from the University of Debrecen in Hungary and completed postdoctoral training at the Salk Institute in California. Before joining Johns Hopkins, he held professorships at the University of Debrecen and Sanford Burnham Prebys Medical Discovery Institute. He is an elected member of EMBO, Academia Europaea and the Hungarian Academy of Sciences and has received several prestigious international research awards.

Laszlo will present his recent work that revealed how BACH1 integrates chromatin accessibility and transcriptional repression to control macrophage responses and adaptation to inflammatory and tissue-specific signals.

If you would like to meet Laszlo, please contact Dieter (dieter.saur@tum.de).

We are looking forward to welcome you to the talk!

Best wishes,

Dieter
