This is a series of lectures on molecular biology and biomedicine at a very basic level, intended to bring these disciplines closer to the general public. The lectures, in addition to having interesting scientific content, are adjusted and suitable for a non-specialist audience not involved in science and current research.

In order to achieve these objectives, the series involves great communicators who are able to seduce their audience and transmit knowledge, while at the same time exposing the hottest topics in biomedicine to the populace.
