With early-career researcher Tamara Hamann, the RPTU will be represented at this year’s Lindau Meeting of Nobel Laureates. The biology Ph.D. candidate will have the opportunity to engage in high-level discussions.

For 75 years, the Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings have served as a unique forum for exchange between Nobel laureates and early-career researchers. Each summer, more than 600 of the world’s most talented early-career scientists are selected and invited to attend. They meet with more than 30 Nobel laureates to spend a week conferring with them in Lindau on Lake Constance: a week full of exchange, mutual inspiration, and scientific encounters. The program includes, for example, panel discussions, workshops, and group dinners.

Among this year’s participants is Tamara Hamann, who is currently pursuing her Ph.D. at RPTU and conducting research in Prof. Dr. Zuzana Storchová’s Molecular Genetics research group. Her dissertation focuses on glioblastoma multiforme, the most aggressive form of brain tumor. This type of cancer is known for its high plasticity—that is, its biological adaptability—which makes treatment difficult. Tamara Hamann aims to discover how a treatment approach can still be found using experimental and computer-aided methods.

The 75th Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting will take place from June 28 to July 3, 2026. For more information, visit: https://www.mediatheque.lindau-nobel.org/meetings/2026
