AG&M Tager Lectures
The AG&M research institute has a bimonthly seminar series in the Amsterdam UMC, location AMC, focused on
metabolism; the Tager Lecture, called after Professor Joseph Tager.
Joseph Tager made important contributions to Fabry, Pompe and Gaucher disease and had a major impact on our
understanding of peroxisomal diseases. He was chairman of the Biochemistry Department at the University of
Amsterdam (1980-1991).
The Tager Lecture series is organized by AG&M PI’s Riekelt Houtkooper, Susanne La Fleur (as of 2018), Stan van de
Graaf and Noam Zelcer. Suggestions for future speakers for the Tager lecture are always welcome.
