DESCRIPTION:We regret to inform you that this event has been cancelled due 
 to unforeseen circumstances.\n\n \n\nSpecial Seminar — AES Honorary Degree
  Recipient\, Spring 2026 Convocation\n\nFaculty of Agriculture and Environ
 mental Sciences\, McGill University\n\nGiven by: Helmut Sies\, MD\, PhD\n	I
 nstitute for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology I\, Medical Faculty\, Hein
 rich-Heine-University Düsseldorf\, Düsseldorf\, Germany\, and Leibniz Rese
 arch Institute for Environmental Medicine\n\nDescription\n\nThis lecture w
 ill be delivered by Dr. Helmut Sies\, a pioneer in redox biology and the s
 cientist who introduced the concept of oxidative stress.\n\nBuilding on th
 e foundations of stress research first described by Hans Selye at McGill U
 niversity in 1936\, Dr. Sies will explore the dynamic balance of redox hom
 eostasis in aerobic metabolism. His lecture will highlight the central rol
 e of hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) in cellular regulation\, distinguishing betw
 een its essential signaling functions ('oxidative eustress') and its damag
 ing effects at higher levels ('oxidative distress').\n\nThis talk will pro
 vide insights into emerging challenges in redox medicine and the fine-tuni
 ng of oxidative processes in health and disease.\n\nAbout the Speaker\n\nH
 elmut Sies\, MD\, PhD\, is an internationally recognized leader in biochem
 istry and molecular biology. He served as Professor and Chairman at the In
 stitute for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology I at Heinrich-Heine-Univers
 ity Düsseldorf and is currently a Research Professor and Senior Scientist 
 at the Leibniz Research Institute for Environmental 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 biology and nutritional biochem
 istry\, including research on antioxidants such as carotenoids\, flavonoid
 s\, and selenium.\n\nWith over 800 scientific publications\, he is among t
 he most highly cited researchers in the life sciences and has been widely 
 recognized for his outstanding contributions to the field.\n
