On the occasion of the 64th Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting on Physiology or Medicine, the
German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) has invited a group of international journalists
on a one-week press tour through southern Germany. Some 37 Nobel Laureates will meet with
around 600 young researchers from all around the world to share their knowledge, establish
new contacts and exchange ideas.
This year’s Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting focuses on an issue that is of utmost importance to
every society. Although health research has achieved remarkable advances, there is a constant
need to study and understand biological phenomena and systems and to develop new and
more effective ways to prevent and treat diseases.

1. 64th Lindau Nobel Laureate
Meeting
The main focus of the lectures, panel discussions and master classes is on molecular, genetic
and cellular mechanisms, as they are among the keys to the prevention and healing of diseases.
Some of the topics that will be addressed are the latest findings in cancer research, the advancements made in the fight against HIV/AIDS and the process of ageing at the cellular level and
the diseases associated with that.
The second part of the tour will take the journalists to renowned institutes, universities and companies in the field of medical research in southern Germany. Two of the institutes are celebrating
their anniversaries in 2014: the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) was founded
40 years ago, and the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) started its activities in 1964.
The press tour is part of the initiative to “Promote Innovation and Research in Germany”, which
the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) has launched to strengthen and expand
R&D collaboration between Germany and international partners. Under the brand “Research in
Germany”, the DAAD organises communication activities and events to present German innovation and research in key international markets.

Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings
64th Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting on
Physiology or Medicine
www.lindau-nobel.org
The programme is mainly comprised of lectures, discussion sessions, panels and scientific
master classes. The lectures of the Nobel Laureates, held in the morning, reflect current scientific topics and present relevant fields of research of the present and future. The afternoons
are reserved for discussions between the Laureates and the young scientists.
Unlike conventional scientific conferences, the Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings leave plenty
of room for inspiration and reflection, for personal encounters and intense talks. Alongside
cutting-edge research, universally important issues like sustainability or the responsibilities of
scientists in and for society are of utmost significance for the meetings.
The Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings have evolved into international forums for scientific
debates on issues of global importance, and have gained many friends and supporters from
all around the world.
Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings
The Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings have been bringing together the most esteemed international scientists of our times every year since 1951. The meetings focus alternately on medicine
and physiology, physics, chemistry and economic sciences. Each year, Nobel Laureates of
the relevant discipline and approximately 600 young scientists from some 80 countries meet
in Lindau for one week. At the event, they learn from each other, exchange knowledge, ideas
and experience, share their enthusiasm for science and make valuable new contacts. The young
participants are required to pass a multi-step international selection process. They find themselves
at the start of their careers and strive for excellence in their specialist fields.

A member of the Innovation Alliance Baden-Württemberg (Germany), the NMI is involved in
application-oriented research at the interface between the life sciences and material science. Its
interdisciplinary team develops new technologies for companies and public research sponsors
in the areas of pharmaceuticals and biotechnology, biomedical technology and surface and
interface technology.
The NMI manages projects from start to finish, from planning all the way to evaluation. Its portfolio also includes subprojects and individual services, such as consulting, technology assessment,
applications for funding and project planning and coordination. It also offers accredited testing
services.
Scientist and Project Leader
Natural and Medical Sciences Institute (NMI) at the University of Tübingen
Before joining the Natural and Medical Sciences Institute of the
University of Tübingen as a scientist in 2011, Dr. Schütte earned
her doctoral degree at NMI earlier that year with a thesis on
cell-based microsystems. She had previously studied chemistry at
the University of Freiburg (Germany). The subjects of Dr. Schütte’s
research now range from the aforementioned microsystems to polymer surface modification and alternatives to animal experiments.
She works on cell-based microfluidic systems and organ-on-chip
technology with an eye toward their application in drug development and drug safety testing.

Joint Professorship Pharmaceutical Biotechnology
Natural and Medical Sciences Institute (NMI) at the University of Tübingen
Following his initial studies of biology at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München (Germany), Prof. Rothbauer went on to earn his
PhD at the university’s Institute for Physiological Chemistry in 2003.
In addition to managing a project involving chromobodies and
heading a junior research group on behalf of the German Federal
Government, he has since worked as managing director of the
biotech firm ChromoTek GmbH. Over the years, Prof. Rothbauer’s
research on chromobodies has covered the generation of fluorescent nanoprobes to visualise cellular processes, a technology he
hopes to adapt for high-content analysis and application in pharmaceutical compound screenings. He has also served as a professor of pharmaceutical biotechnology at the University of Tübingen
since 2011.

Tissue Engineering Technologies AG (TETEC)
Retina Implant AG
www.tetec-ag.com
www.retina-implant.de
TETEC was founded in 2000 as a spinoff of the NMI and the university trauma hospital in Tübingen. With its current staff of 42 employees, TETEC produces autologous chondrocyte implants
(ACI) for knee cartilage injuries and is attempting to develop a biological regeneration technique
for intervertebral disc and meniscal injuries.
Established in Reutlingen (Germany) in 2003, Retina Implant AG’s mission is to restore vision
to those suffering from retinitis pigmentosa. In doing so, the company’s more specific goals
include helping patients achieve orientation within rooms, regain an 8- to 12-degree field of
vision, and in the best cases, count fingers and recognise faces. So far, nearly 40 patients
have received implants over the course of clinical trials. Some have been able to locate
people and objects and read letters and words.
As a subsidiary of Aesculap AG – which itself is part of B|Braun Melsungen – TETEC explores
options in advanced therapy medicinal products (ATMPs, also known as TEMPs in the United
States). Furthermore, it is the market leader in Germany and one of the major players in Europe
in the field of ACI.
Head of Production (AMG), Quality Management
Tissue Engineering Technologies AG (TETEC)
Dr. Lembert began his academic career in biology at Saarland University before earning his doctoral degree in experimental diabetes research from Umea University (Sweden) in 1996. He then transitioned
to postdoctoral research at the same institution’s Department of Histology and Cell Biology. In 1999, Dr. Lembert moved on to the University
of Tübingen, where he earned his postdoctoral lecture qualification in
pharmacology and toxicology and eventually began working in the
Department of General Surgery. After entering the private sector as a
production manager at Biotissue Technologies GmbH in 2007, he assisted NMI in setting up a test laboratory he would go on to direct until
2013. Dr. Lembert now serves as head of production at TETEC AG.

PhD students to full professors. Its outstanding achievements include discoveries related to the
molecular, genetic and physiological bases of a number of major neurological diseases.
The institute is home to a total of 28 research groups, 25 of them within the aforementioned areas
and three operating as independent research groups. Moreover, the Hertie Institute for Clinical
Brain Research and University Hospital Tübingen’s Clinical Neurology Department together form
the Center of Neurology, which serves as a basis for excellence in research and patient care.
