Distinguished Visitor Lecture Series
Every year, the Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry (MPIB) invites around 10 eminent scientists, who are leaders in their research field to give presentations in the “Distinguished Visitor Lecture Series”. During their visit to the MPIB, the distinguished speakers will give a lecture on their latest research findings and meet both established scientists and young researchers to exchange ideas.
