His lecture wil l highlight the central role of hydrogen peroxide (Hâ‚‚Oâ‚‚) in cellular regul ation\, distinguishing between its essential signaling functions ('oxidati ve eustress') and its damaging effects at higher levels ('oxidative distre ss').\n\nThis talk will provide insights into emerging challenges in redox medicine and the fine-tuning of oxidative processes in health and disease .\n\nAbout the Speaker\n\nHelmut Sies\, MD\, PhD\, is an internationally r ecognized leader in biochemistry and molecular biology. He served as Profe ssor and Chairman at the Institute for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology I at Heinrich-Heine-University Düsseldorf and is currently a Research Prof essor and Senior Scientist at the Leibniz Research Institute for Environme ntal 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 biol ogy and nutritional biochemistry\, including research on antioxidants such as carotenoids\, flavonoids\, and selenium.\n\nWith over 800 scientific p ublications\, he is among the most highly cited researchers in the life sc iences and has been widely recognized for his outstanding contributions to the field.\n DTSTART:20260605T150000Z DTEND:20260605T160000Z LOCATION:Raymond Building\, CA\, QC\, St Anne de Bellevue\, H9X 3V9\, 21111 Lakeshore Road SUMMARY: Special Seminar — AES Honorary Degree Recipient\, Spring 2026 Conv ocation — The Multifaceted Roles of Oxidative Stress: Eustress and Distres s URL:/foodscience/channels/event/special-seminar-aes-ho norary-degree-recipient-spring-2026-convocation-multifaceted-roles-oxidati ve-372871 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
