The Nansen Neuroscience Lectures

The Nansen Neuroscience Lectures (NNLs) are organized in conjunction with Fridtjof Nansen’s birthday to honour his fundamental contribution to neuroscience, and since 10.10.2010 they are part of the Academy’s Nansen-celebration. The NNLs are given by speakers selected from the top tier of science research.

Nansen Neuroscience Lecture 2020

Nansen's Contribution to Neuroscience

Organizers: Linda H. Bergersen and Jon Storm-Mathisen in cooperation with the University of Oslo, the Nansen Neuroscience Network (NNN), and the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters (DNVA).

 

The proteins that keep us 'in tune': G-protein mediated signalling and G-protein-coupled receptors are central in the regulation of the function of all cells. They are major drug targets for fighting diseases.

 

 

The lecture will give an overview and the latest advances in the field.
