Inaugural lecture: Dolga on the path of renewal: Regenerative Neuropharmacology for the aging brain

20 October 2026
Amalia Dolga

When a scientist is appointed professor, she or he holds an inaugural lecture: a public speech of maximum 30 minutes in the auditorium of the university for an audience. Often this speech is about the research area of ​​the newly appointed professor and his or her vision on it.

In her inaugural lecture, Prof. Amalia Dolga introduces regenerative neuropharmacology, a field that uses molecules to protect and renew the ageing brain. Using stem-cell models of the human brain, she argues that targeting mitochondrial function and the main immune brain cells, microglia could become key strategies for healthy ageing.
