With a length of around 2 meters, how does the DNA double helix fold so it can fit the 5-8 microns diameter of the cell nucleus? The spactial configuration of DNA makes this possible and biologists study the architecture of the double helix to answer this kind of questions.

At the same time, architects are inspired by the shapes, the organization and the structure of nature to create functional buildings.

In what kind of projects would architects and biologists collaborate? What they can learn from each other?

Hosted by the International Society for Computational Biology (ISCB) and the Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG), the Next Generation Sequencing Conference 2014 (NGS 2014) is a dedicated

Biologists want to create artificial living beings Do they have the knowledge and the tools to do it ? Will Synthetic Biology change our lives?
Which are the risks and benefits of this technology? And which are the ethical boundaries comprom at issue?

Read about it, think and come coffee scientific on May 21st with your questions!
