Kürzlich fand an der Universität Graz ein Symposium zu Ehren von Christa Neuper statt. Anlass war eine bewegende Rückschau auf die Leistungen der international renommierten Neuropsychologin und ersten Rektorin der Universität Graz. Hochrangige Persönlichkeiten und Wegbegleiter stellten sich ein, allen voran Bundesminister Martin Polaschek, der 2019 Christa Neuper als Rektor der Uni Graz folgte. Auch Landeshauptmann Christopher Drexler, Wissenschaftslandesrätin Barbara Eibinger-Miedl, sowie die Rektorinnen und Rektoren der steirischen Hochschulkonferenz, aber auch Vertreter:innen der Kirchen und der wissenschaftlichen Community nahmen teil.

­Unter dem Rektorat von Neuper wurden Forschungsstärken der Uni Graz gebündelt und ausgebaut (Climate Change Graz, BIOHEALTH). Zudem hat sie die Kooperation BioTechMed-Graz mitbegründet. Universität Graz, TU Graz und Meduni Graz betreiben im Rahmen dieser Kooperation gemeinsame Forschung für Gesundheit an der Schnittstelle von biomedizinischen Grundlagen, technologischen Entwicklungen und medizinischen Anwendungen. Christa Neuper ist es gelungen, dass die Uni Graz als eine der ersten Universitäten Österreichs Teil der Initiative European Universities wurde. Die Hochschulallianz ARQUS vereint bekannte europäischen Unis wie Granada, Padua, Leipzig und Vilnius. Der spektakuläre Bau der Universitätsbibliothek wird als markantes und hochmodernes Gebäude der in Erinnerung an ihre Amtszeit bleiben.

However, for a long-term cure, it must be completely resolved,” explains Andreas Koeberle, a pharmacist at the University of Graz. Normally, the body carries out this work itself. However, if this process does not function properly, chronic inflammation can develop, which can contribute to conditions such as cardiovascular disease or cancer.
