Lecture title: The choreography of life: What a protein’s “dance” says about health and disease - Front Row lecture with Dorothee Kern, PhD Description: Proteins are the molecular machines that regulate our tissues, organs and biological processes. But these complex molecules don’t just sit still—they “dance.” For Professor Dorothee Kern, understanding this choreography is key to understanding the difference between health and disease. In this free Front Row lecture, Kern will share how her team combines AI and experimental techniques to visualize protein movements in action. Kern will explain how mapping these dynamic motions via “protein movies” can guide the development of longer-lasting drugs with vastly reduced side effects for cancer, metabolic disease and more.
