CRG Scientific Coffee: What's behind a scientific image?

What happens when a biologist, a physicist and an artist look through the microscope?

Microscopy techniques have improved greatly since the first optical microscopes. And physicists, engineers, and even biologists, still look for improvements.

What are these advances? Do they alter reality?
 
Scientists frequently use fluorescent proteins or antibodies to visualize different aspects of cell, organelles and tissues and this can alter what we observe under the microscope.

What types of new technologies are in need by biologists?

Academia Sinica Delegation visit

The CRG organizes a mini-symposium to support scientific exchange between local scientists and scientists from the Academia Sinica in Taiwan, which is the most preeminent academic institution in the Republic of China. Beside ample time for discussions and informal exchanges the Taiwanese guests and local scientist will present their research. You can join the 2-day event, discussing science and taking the chance to set-up new collaborations.
Academia Sinica delegates:

Exposició "Tree of Life. La complexitat de la vida: de la cèl·lula a l’organisme viu"

VERSIÓ EN CATALÀ

L’exposició recull imatges del treball científic del Centre de Regulació Genòmica (CRG)

Per primera vegada a Barcelona, s’exposen imatges dels investigadors del CRG amb l’objectiu de compartir no només la recerca que es fa al centre sinó també la bellesa i la singularitat d’aquestes imatges, i els paral·lelismes i sinergies que s’estableixen entre l’art i la ciència.

El Palau Robert acollirà aquesta exposició que compta amb el suport i la producció de la Fundació Banc Sabadell.

Courses@CRG: Library preparation for next generation sequencing

This course will focus on the next generation sequencing library preparation for sequencing on the Illumina platform. Aside from library preparation for standard genomic sequencing and for directional mRNA seq, this course will teach advanced methods for the preparation of libraries from very small quantities of starting material. In particular, the course schedule will include teaching smart seq, a protocol for sequencing the transcriptomes of single cells and explain MALBAC, designed to sequence single cell genomes.
