Prof. Ernst Rank and the TUM-IAS team invite the scientists of TUM and their guests for coffee each Wednesday! Just come over to the TUM-IAS after lunch between 1:00 - 2:00 p.m. and have a coffee with us, meet other scientists and listen from time to time to a short talk (10-15 mins) on a recent major TUM publication or issue – aimed specifically at a non-expert audience.
On May 2, 2018, Prof. Horst Kessler (Faculty of Chemistry - TUM Institute for Advanced Study) will talk about a new strategy making peptide active agents available orally. In the future, this will greatly simplify the creation of peptide medication that can be easily given in fluid or tablet form (TUM press release).
