This two-day conference under the title “Cellular Machineries” will be held 22 and 23 October in Barcelona, providing a unique opportunity to bring together leaders in life sciences who use a variety of approaches to addresses the basic principles of how a cell works, and how this affects the function and physiology of tissues and whole organisms.

In recent years, Drosophila melanogaster has emerged as a powerful model system in which to study the genes and neural circuits that process sensory information and generate complex behaviors. Understanding such problems requires a multi-faceted approach, so that expertise in a variety of techniques is essential to any systems neuroscientist.
Today´s powerful new tools enable researchers to construct novel experiments in a wide range of fields—from basic biomedical research to biotechnology and medicine—allowing them to edit genomes at sites of their choosing. Using most recent technologies in genome engineering, it is now possible to create knock-in, knock-outs and mutations of any gene in any cell line or organism with high efficiency. This approach allows to perturb biological systems at the gene as well as at the protein level.
This second CRG “Somatic Cell Reprogramming” course will will take place from Friday 23rd until Wednesday 28th of October 2015 at CRG in Barcelona. This CRG course will teach participants how to derive and maintain mouse and human pluripotent stem cells (iPS cells), reprogrammed heterokaryons and to differentiate ESC into embryonic bodies.
