Hermanos Elhuyar Hans Goldschmidt Lecture

Hermanos Elhuyar Hans Goldschmidt Lecture

Together with the Real Sociedad Española de Química, the Hermanos Elhuyar Hans Goldschmidt Lecture was established in 1998. It took place for the first time a year later in Spain. Professor Hans-Heinrich Limbach from Berlin was invited.

The Elhuyar brothers were both passionate mineralogists and chemists. They both studied in Paris and attended the Freiberg Mining Academy. They continued their education through educational trips to Central and Northern Europe. In 1783 the brothers published their investigations into the extraction of tungsten from wolframite. This makes them the discoverers of tungsten.

The chemist Hans Goldschmidt was born in Berlin in 1861. He studied in Berlin and later with Robert Wilhelm Bunsen at the University of Heidelberg, where he also received his doctorate. In 1894 he developed the thermite process, which is still important today. This redox reaction made it possible to easily produce carbon-free metals such as iron, chromium and manganese and is still of great importance in rail construction today.

Excellent people so far

2022 - Óscar Millet, Center for Cooperative Research in Biosciences, Derio/Spain

dr In his research, Millet deals with the use of nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) to investigate biologically relevant proteins and enzymes. His research focus is on the delicate balance between protein stability and dynamics, which can lead to the development of new drugs, particularly in the area of rare diseases.

2022 - Peter H. Seeberger, MPI for Colloids and Interfaces, Potsdam

Professor Peter H. Seeberger and his working group are researching sugar-based vaccines, for example against malaria. It is thanks to him that oligosaccharides can be synthesized automatically, which is a major milestone for further research.
