His lecture will highlight the central rol e of hydrogen peroxide (Hâ‚‚Oâ‚‚) in cellular regulation\, distinguishing betw een its essential signaling functions ('oxidative eustress') and its damag ing effects at higher levels ('oxidative distress').\n\nThis talk will pro vide insights into emerging challenges in redox medicine and the fine-tuni ng of oxidative processes in health and disease.\n\nAbout the Speaker\n\nH elmut Sies\, MD\, PhD\, is an internationally recognized leader in biochem istry and molecular biology. He served as Professor and Chairman at the In stitute for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology I at Heinrich-Heine-Univers ity Düsseldorf and is currently a Research Professor and Senior Scientist at the Leibniz Research Institute for Environmental Medicine.\n\nDr. Sies introduced the concept of oxidative stress and made seminal contributions to understanding the role of hydrogen peroxide in biological systems. His work has significantly shaped modern redox biology and nutritional biochem istry\, including research on antioxidants such as carotenoids\, flavonoid s\, and selenium.\n\nWith over 800 scientific publications\, he is among t he most highly cited researchers in the life sciences and has been widely recognized for his outstanding contributions to the field.\n DTSTART:20260605T150000Z DTEND:20260605T160000Z SUMMARY:CANCELLED: Special Seminar — AES Honorary Degree Recipient\, Spring 2026 Convocation URL:/macdonald/channels/event/cancelled-special-semina r-aes-honorary-degree-recipient-spring-2026-convocation-372871 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
