Moreover, its newly-built institute brought about another novelty &#8211; it was the first university institute in Germany to host independent research groups. The Biochemistry course was established by Professor G\u00fcnther Weitzel and began as a program with seven students only. Since then, more than 1700 biochemists have gained their Diploma from the University of T\u00fcbingen. Among them are the Nobel laureate Hartmut Michel (Nobel Prize in 1988) and Christiane N\u00fcsslein-Volhard (Nobel Prize in 1995).<\/p>\n<p>Since the winter semester 2009\/2010 the University of T\u00fcbingen offers a Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry instead of a Diploma program. Furthermore, in the winter semester 2012\/2013 the university introduced a new and broad Master of Science program, taught exclusively in English. The master course is organized by the Interfaculty Institute of Biochemistry (IFIB) and is highly modular and adaptable to the students\u2019 personal preferences. Every year hundreds of applicants go through a competitive admission process, of which 90 bachelor and 35 master students are admitted to the Biochemistry course.<\/p>\n<p>The celebrations for the 50th anniversary of the Biochemistry degree began with a champagne reception held at the Museum Restaurant on Friday, October the 12th. The guests were warmly welcomed by the Director of the IFIB, Prof. Thilo Stehle. The evening continued with speeches by Boris Palmer, mayor of T\u00fcbingen, and Prof. Leopold Floh\u00e9, one of the first Biochemistry graduates from the University of T\u00fcbingen.<\/p>\n<p>On the second day, October the 13th, alumni of the University of T\u00fcbingen gave insightful talks on a wide range of current research topics in the symposium at the IFIB. The event was opened by\u00a0 Dr. Herbert M\u00fcther, Vice-Rector of the University of T\u00fcbingen. <em>At the end of this article is a brief list of the speakers and their topics.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The symposium was complemented by an Alumni Meeting and amusing stories of the good old days. More than 300 alumni and current students participated in the celebrations.<\/p>\n<p>It is clear that the Biochemistry at the University of T\u00fcbingen enters its second 50 years with the same well-deserved confidence, exploratory spirit and unabated enthusiasm that it has approached its 50 first years.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>Symposium Speakers<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Albrecht Wendel, University Hospital T\u00fcbingen \u2013 \u201cChronicle of a Death Foretold &#8211;\u00a0 from Marquez to apoptosis\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dietmar Vestweber, Max Planck Institute M\u00fcnster \u2013 \u201cMolecular mechanisms of leukocyte invasion into tissue\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hans-Dieter Klenk, University of Marburg \u2013 \u201cInfluenza viruses on the way from animals to human\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hans-Martin J\u00e4ck, University of Erlangen \u2013 \u201cHow miRNA controls B cells\u201d<\/p>\n<p>J\u00fcrgen Behrens, University of Erlangen \u2013 \u201cWnt signaling and colorectal cancer\u201d<\/p>\n<p>J\u00fcrgen Bernhagen, University of Aachen \u2013\u201c50 years of Biochemistry Studies: T\u00fcbingen meets 50 years of chemokines: the impact of parts 1-4 on inflammation research\u201c<\/p>\n<p>Kai-Uwe Fr\u00f6hlich, University of Graz \u2013 \u201cYeasts as a model organism for aging, obesity and cancer\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Martin Eilers, University of W\u00fcrzburg \u2013 \u201cThinking about novel tumor therapies\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Stefan Sigrist, Free University of Berlin \u2013 \u201cShedding light on synapse assembly\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tina Romies, Free University of Berlin \u2013 \u201cPlants in stress\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ulrike Gaul, Ludwig Maximilians University of Munich \u2013 \u201cFunctional genomic approaches to studying the role of glia in the nervous system\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Organisation<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Interfaculty Institute of Biochemistry (IFIB)<br \/>\nProf. Doron Rapaport<br \/>\nDr. Klaus M\u00f6schel<br \/>\nHoppe-Seyler-Str. 4<br \/>\n72076 T\u00fcbingen<br \/>\nTel.: +49 7071 29-73340<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In October 2012 the oldest Biochemistry degree in Germany celebrated its 50th anniversary with a highly successful symposium at the Interfaculty Institute of Biochemistry.\u00a0 In 1962 Eberhard-Karls Universit\u00e4t T\u00fcbingen became the first university in Germany to offer a degree in Biochemistry.
