08:45-09:15   Registration

09:15-09:30   Welcome by Luis Serrano, CRG Director

                       Welcome by the organizers (CRG PhD and Postdocs organizer committee)

Session 1 - Molecules in high resolution 
It is perhaps modern imaging technologies that have had the strongest impact on the field of cell biology, and will unquestionably continue to do so. The trend is to label and monitor molecules, organelles and cells and their interactions, using increasingly sophisticated tools, in real time. These images are beginning to change our views of the dynamic nature of some of the most fundamental cell biological processes.

Session 2 - The inner life of the cell 
More and more scientists are jumping into single-cell analysis, which spans classical cell biology, developmental biology, genomics and computational biology. As the technologies to study single cells expand, they will require sophisticated analytical tools to get the data and make sense of results. Without doubt, single-cell analysis will open new vistas for scientists to explore.

Session 3 - Genome and organoid engineering
Organoids – the 3D self-organizing structures produced in vitro from pluripotent or somatic stem cells that show realistic micro-anatomy – can recapitulate many aspects of structural organization and functionality of their in vivo organ counterparts, thus holding great promise for biomedical research and translational applications. Importantly, faithful recapitulation of disease and development processes relies on the ability to modify the genomic contents in organoid cells. The revolutionary genome engineering technologies, including CRISPR/Cas9, is enabling investigators to generate various reporter cell lines at a fast pace for screening disease-associated mutations for disease modeling as well as for validation of specific cell lineages.

Session 4 - Building and understanding complex systems
Synthetic biology, the convergence of advances in chemistry, biology, computer science, and engineering, is a biology-based “toolkit” that uses abstraction, standardization, and automated construction to change how we build biological systems and expand the range of possible products. Its breakthroughs will speed the development of biologically engineered solutions to pressing global problems related to health, materials, energy, environment, and security.
