Bertalanffy Lecture Series at COS
The Bertalanffy Lecture Series was installed with the aim to provide a better understanding of integrative approaches in systems oriented biology both to pupils from Heidelberg and to scientists on campus. The lecture series is a project supported by the Klaus-Tschira Foundation and takes place twice a year.

The 17th Bertalanffy Lecture at COS will take place on Thursday, May 7th with the speaker Angela Nieto (Instituto de Neurociencias CSIC-UMH, Alicante) and topic "25 Years with a Snail: How Embryos teach us about Cancer" in the Hörsaal, Im Neuenheimer Feld 360. On Friday, May 8th, Dr. Nieto will talk about "Cell plasticity in health and disease: the ins and outs of the EMT". Both lectures will start at 2 pm.
Due to the COVID-19 situation, the 17th Bertalanffy Lecture for 2020 was cancelled with a heavy heart. The safety and health of all visitors, organizers and speakers is clearly the main focus.
