Watch lectures by three Nobel Prize-winning researchers live
The Center for Molecular Fingerprinting (CMF) is set to achieve a significant milestone in its pioneering work bringing ultrafast laser spectroscopy in medical applications. CMF is led by Nobel Laureate in Physics Prof. Ferenc Krausz, Chair of Experimental Physics – Laser Physics at the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München and Director of the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics (Garching, Munich) as a cooperation institute in Budapest, Hungary.
On June 17, 10:45 am, CMF will inaugurate its new laser laboratory at research institute ELI ALPS in Szeged, marking a critical step in bringing this innovative technology to Hungary. In conjunction with this occasion, the CMF Summit 2024 – At the Forefront of Disease Profiling will take place, featuring lectures by Nobel Prize laureates who will provide insights into their groundbreaking research.

Program/Speakers:
11.00 - 12.15: Prof. Dr. Ferenc Krausz - Nobel Prize Laureate in Physics 2023, CEO of CMF
Ferenc Krausz will present the research being carried out at the Budapest-based Center for Molecular Fingerprinting (CMF), and dive into the importance and applications of attosecond physics.
13.15 - 14.30: Prof. Dr. Katalin Karikó - Nobel Prize Laureate in Physiology or Medicine 2023
The second speaker, Katalin Karikó was awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine for her groundbreaking work in the development of mRNA technology. Her discoveries in nucleoside base modifications have been pivotal in creating effective mRNA vaccines, a milestone that has transformed the landscape of medical science and public health.
14.30 - 15.45: Prof. Dr. Gérard Mourou - Nobel Prize Laureate in Physics 2018
Gérard Mourou, the recipient of the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2018 will talk third Prof. Mourou's innovative methods for generating high-intensity, ultra-short optical pulses have opened new frontiers in laser science and technology.

About CMF:
The Centre for Molecular Fingerprinting (CMF) is part of the attoworld research group, led by Nobel Laureate in Physics 2023 Prof. Ferenc Krausz. CMF is a nonprofit research institution in Budapest, Hungary, that brings together different disciplines to transform the future of healthcare. Research methods used here include infrared molecular fingerprinting. Researchers illuminate blood plasma with ultra-short laser light and then use a special laser technique to record the light waves emitted by the molecular vibrations. Afterward, they can observe and track even the smallest changes in the molecular composition of blood.
