Special Seminar of Susumu Tonegawa

USIAS Professors Pierre Chambon, Chair of Biology and Molecular Genetics, and Jean-Marie Lehn, Chair of chemistry of complex systems, have invited Professor Susumu Tonegawa to give a special seminar on Neuroscience of Memory-Engrams for Genuine and False Memories at IGBMC on 23 January 2014.

Susumu Tonegawa is a Japanese scientist who won the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine in 1987 for his discovery of the genetic mechanism that produces antibody diversity. Although he won the Nobel Prize for his work in immunology, Tonegawa is a molecular biologist by training. In his later years, he has turned his attention to the molecular and cellular basis of memory formation. He won the Gairdner Prize in 1983.
