BMC - The First Decade
To mark its tenth anniversary, the BMC is hosting a ceremony and scientific symposium on September 18, 2025.
The foundation stone for the Biomedical Center was laid on 29.09.2011.
Since its opening in 2015, the BMC has evolved into one of Germany's top centers for biomedical research. Today, around 450 employees from over 50 countries work here to investigate cell fates and plasticity, from basic mechanisms to pathology and repair.
The symposium brings together guests from academia, politics, and industry to reflect on a successful decade and discuss future prospects. Further details can be found in our program (below).
A special highlight of the program is the farewell lecture by Peter Becker, long-time spokesperson for the BMC and Chair of Molecular Biology at the Faculty of Medicine since 1999. Afterwards, we invite you to join us for a get-together with snacks and drinks to celebrate the anniversary in a festive atmosphere.
Registration: All guests are welcome. The event is free of charge, but registration is required by July 30, 2025: Link to registration
