Termin

Dear colleagues at the MDC and on the Campus Buch, dear members of the Friends of MDC,

We are delighted to invite you once again, as the year draws to a close, to another event in our popular ‘Music Meets Science’ series.

The concert evening will be opened by the multi-award-winning pianist Natalia Ehwald, who is renowned for her musical intensity and expressiveness. She has a particular interest in the works of Schubert and Schumann. She has already performed at renowned venues such as the Berlin Philharmonie and the Konzerthaus Berlin, and tours internationally. We are delighted to have been able to secure her once again for an evening at the MDC. At the piano, she will perform works by Franz Schubert and Robert Schumann.

Under the title ‘The naked mole-rat has something to tell us!’, Prof. Gary Lewin, head of the ‘Molecular Physiology of Somatosensory Perception’ research group at the Max Delbrück Centre, will talk about his fascinating research into pain perception. He and his team are making inspiring discoveries not only in relation to naked mole-rats. Lewin’s findings in basic research could lead to new pain-relieving medicines for humans. Lewin was recently elected a member of the German National Academy of Sciences Leopoldina.

The scientific talk will be presented in German.

Admission is free; your donations will go towards the MDC-Friends association and the reconstruction of the Schlosskirche in Buch.

We look forward to welcoming you to the event.
