Tatiana Morais, a researcher from the at the , University of Malta, has been chosen as this year’s representative from Malta at the Lindau Nobel laureates meeting.
The Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings have been fostering the exchange of ideas between different generations, scientific disciplines (including physiology and medicine, physics, chemistry, and economics), and cultures since 1951. The event brings together approximately 600 young researchers and around 40 Nobel laureates for a week-long gathering, promoting fruitful interactions among them.
Every year, a select group of the most exceptional young scientists is chosen through a global competition. This year, Tatiana will represent Malta at the meeting, which will be held on the picturesque island of Lindau, located on Lake Constance in Bavaria, Germany.
Expressing her enthusiasm, Tatiana, a young neuroscience researcher, said, “As a representative of Malta and a young researcher in neuroscience, I am eagerly looking forward to attending the Lindau meeting and seizing this incredible opportunity. In Lindau, I will have the chance to exchange ideas and learn from my fellow colleagues. I am certain that I will be captivated by the knowledge they can share, and I am eager to hear about their career journeys. As a researcher at the University of Malta, it is my responsibility to make the most of this meeting and forge strong relationships with other academic institutions worldwide, particularly by fostering collaborations.”
This year’s meeting will focus on Physiology/Medicine, and as a neuroscientist, Tatiana will be meeting with several Nobel laureates in this field. She hopes to discuss the progress she has made in researching childhood absence epilepsy at the Faculty of Medicine and Surgery at the University of Malta, thereby bringing Malta’s research to the forefront.
