Professor Jungbauer is an academic at the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences in Vienna and his research focuses on the area of ​​protein production, isolation and separation of biomolecules. He is currently working in the field of bioengineering of proteins, plasmids and viruses.

The 2011 series of talks was inaugurated by Dr. Paul Moya of the Laboratory of Clinical Science, National Institute of Mental Health, United States, who was invited by the ICDB key researcher, Dr. Bruce Cassels. Professor Moya delivered a lecture entitled "Pharmacological and genetic aspects of the serotonergic system and its relevance to psychiatry." Then was the turn of Dr. Peter Mombaerts, Max Planck Institute of Biophysics in Germany, whose presentation was entitled "Olfation Targeted".

Another internationally renowned researcher who visited the ICDB invited by Dr. Juan Asenjo, director of our institute, was Sir Tom Blundell, chairman of the Department of Biochemistry, University of Cambridge in England and Fellow of the Royal Society of London, whose presentation was called "Structure guided drug discovery: targeting cell surface receptors and multiprotein signaling complexes”.

Also from UK, Dr. Michael Goodfellow, School of Biology of Newcastle University, Dr. Allan Bull, School of Biosciences, University of Kent and Dr. Davis Stuckey, Department of Chemical Engineering at Imperial College London.

From Argentina, Dr. Ana Maria Guiliettu of the University of Buenos Aires whose talk was called "Plant versatility: a strategy for biotechnological processes" and Dr. Ana Belen Elgoyhen, Research Institute for Genetic Engineering and Molecular Biology of Buenos Aires, who spoke on the olivococlear efferent system and protection of acoustic trauma.

Finally, from France and invited by the ICDB young researcher, Dr. Nicholas Giuliani, was Dr. Franck Molina, director of SysDiag, CNRS / Bio-rad of Montpellier in France, who delivered the lecture "From systems biology to synthetic biology: ways and popes in clinical applications ".
