Curious yet? The program for the Long Night of the Sciences on 22 June 2024 in Berlin is finally here!
It's almost time: a large number of scientific and science-related institutions are inviting you to take a look behind the scenes at the Long Night of the Sciences (LNDW). You can now find out what there is to discover in the full program of the LNDW 2024 www.langenachtderwissenschaften.de/programm.

Hands-on experiments and information stand
Global food systems are crucial for the health of people and the planet. However, the constantly growing world population and climate change pose major challenges. The Leibniz research network "Green Nutrition - Healthy Society" is developing scientific solutions for the transition to optimal and sustainable nutrition. Three of the partner institutes provide an insight into their exciting projects: the German Institute of Human Nutrition, the Leibniz Institute of Vegetable and Ornamental Crops and the Leibniz-LSB@TUM.

"Freisinger Ernährungsdialog": Active Against Food Waste
Panel Discussion and Information Market
An exciting round with expert knowledge to lasting nutrition and also for the avoidance of food waste expects the visitors: the second Freisinger nourishing dialogue on 19 October at 7 pm in the Lindenkeller will offer again the whole range at specialized knowledge. Because still it is for example the households and not the food industry, which destroy most food in Germany. Thus, more than 18 million tons of valuable food end up in the garbage can every year.
The Leibniz-LSB@TUM participates with an information booth and presents the new edition of the "Kleiner Souci-Fachmann-Kraut" - Lebensmitteltabelle für die Praxis.
The Freising Nutrition Dialogue is a joint event of the vhs Freising and EIT Food Central, Europe's largest innovation network for nutrition, and is supported by the city of Freising.
The event is sponsored by the Bayerische Staatsministerium für Unterricht und Kultus.

Exploring Extranasal Odorant Receptors
Thursday, February 16, 2023
2:00 PM - 3:00 PM ET
More information: achems.org/web/seminars-register.php
Odorant receptors (ORs) are expressed not only in the olfactory epithelium but also play important roles in extranasal tissues. However, a poor understanding of OR ligands has restricted our ability to fully explore the extranasal role of these receptors. Here, we will discuss efforts to better understand both OR ligands and extranasal OR functions.
Ligands of Odorant Receptors Outside the Odor Space
Antonella Di Pizio, Ph.D.
In Silico Biology and Machine Learning
Leibniz Institute for Food Systems Biology at the Technical University of Munich

Our topic: Working World Food Research 4.0
Over the last century food research has changed considerably. This change was accompanied by a rapid development of novel research methods and technologies. Food research 4.0 means that researchers at Leibniz-LSB@TUM are combining latest methods of biomolecular basic research and bioinformatics with high-performance analytic technologies. In doing so, they pursue a systems biology approach superior to classical food chemistry. In the future, food research 4.0 will help to supply the population with sustainably produced food and to ensure a healthy, enjoyable diet. Last but not least, it will allow us to develop novel individual nutritional concepts for people suffering from food intolerances or other diet-related diseases.
Visit our booth from 10 to 13 November 2018 at the old congress hall in Munich and inform yourself about our research. Find out more about hereditary differences in odor perception, learn more about recent findings on wheat sensitivity or get an answer to the question: Do flavors play a role in human immune defence?
Open House Day 2018
Visit our Institute in Freising/Weihenstephan
This is your chance to experience science and research up close and personal – in the anniversary year 2018 at all TUM locations. At the open house day, from 11 am to 5 pm, we invite you to visit also our Institute providing fascinating insights into our research. Join us to test your chemical senses!
June 9, 2018: Long Night of Sciences in Berlin
From 5 to 12 pm, at the Long Night of Sciences in Berlin, scientists of the Leibniz-LSB@TUM presented their research together with partners from the Leibniz Research Alliance "Sustainable Food Production and Healthy Nutrition" at the Headquarter of the Leibniz Association.
At the booth of the Leibniz-LSB@TUM it was all about the questions: Is gluten generally harmful to health? Is spelt easier to digest than wheat? Are old wheat varieties better than new ones? Questions that the Leibniz-LSB@TUM scientists, together with colleagues from the Leibniz Institute of Plant Genetics and Crop Plant Research in Gatersleben are pursuing together in the "Wheatscan" project.
