Alzheimer’s Research Meets Art

Stefan Rüdiger, Professor of Protein Chemistry of Diseases and Head of the Chemistry Department at Utrecht University, reflects his medical research in his artistic work, making it accessible and tangible to a wider audience. At the invitation of the Leibniz Institute for Immunotherapy (LIT), the artist presents his paintings in the exhibition “Alzheimer’s Research Meets Art” in Regensburg.

In his daily work, Prof. Rüdiger leads a biomedical research laboratory that studies the molecular processes in human cells underlying neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and Huntington’s disease. His paintings abstractly depict what he investigates at the atomic level of cellular building blocks.

We were very pleased to welcome all interested parties to this special occasion taking place at the University Hospital Regensburg. And proudly look back on an event full of art, inspiration, and stimulating conversations!
