Listen to the brain

The Brain Polyphony Concert

In the context of the Brain Awareness Week (BAW) 2016, the Centre for Genomic Regulation in collaboration with the Barcelona Research Art & Creation (BRAC) of the University of Barcelona and Starlab have created a concert with the aim of exploring the possibilities of the Brain Poliphony system. The concert will take place at the Centre de Cultura Contemporània de Barcleona (CCCB).

The CRISPR-Cas9 technology enables 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.  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 the perturbation of biological systems at the gene as well as at the protein level.

Today’s global economy and business are facing a tremendous challenge: how to transform research, the money invested and the resources provided to laboratories and scientific parks into new innovations to create new products and services that can lead to the improvement of the life of individuals and society as a whole. One of the main barriers encountered is the “distance” between researchers and the business world. This distance is not usually physical, it is simply a lack of knowledge on both sides.

In the last years, super-resolution light microscopy equipment has become more widely available for biological researchers. Most if not all of the existing approaches do however present challenges in sample preparation, image acquisition and also the subsequent analysis that need to be met for the successful execution of a biological experiment.

The International symposium in BioNanoVision will bring together a multidisciplinary group of world-leading scientists to further our understanding on the fundamental molecular mechanisms that regulate cellular architecture, from nuclear organization to the cell membrane. These will include experts from the optical nanoscopy field, biophysicists, cell biologists, chemists and statistical physicists.
