Symposium Overview:

The BioBusiness Shcool will be composed of several modules combining lectures and workshops, motivating the participants through hands-on and real-life examples. Each lecture will provide an introduction to a key aspect of technology transfer and the most relevant tools in relation to it, while the workshops will focus on stimulating the entrepreneurship competences and skills of participants to apply the newly acquired knowledge to their own projects or ideas, in order to make them into products.

Blindness is a major global health challenge because of the enormous impact it has on patients and their families, and their important socio-economic consequences. Besides the great emotional impact that this implies for patients and their families, also means the inability to pursue education, to find a quality job, an increased risk for falls and accidents, a limited autonomy and an impediment to have an active lifestyle and quality.

Women in Science Sessions - CRG Gender Balance Committee Seminars

The CRG Gender Balance Committee is pleased to host Dr. Virginia Valian, Distinguished Professor. Department of Psychology-Hunter College, USA, talking about:

 “Remedying the (Still too) Slow Advancement of Women” 

The CRG Postdoc Committee organizes the VII Postdoctoral Symposium on July 6th, 2016, at the PRBB Auditorium.

The day will be split in four sessions, one for each CRG Research Programme, and there will be three kind of talks in each session: faculty picks, elected by the PIs of the department, short talk and lightning talks, chosen from abstracts. In addition, the day will be open and closed by keynotes talks from a CRG Alumni and a senior PI (see below).

The purpose is to get to know what other postdocs do in Barcelona and foster collaborative projects and ideas.

This networking event aims to bring together basic and translational/clinical researchers from different fields and institutes (IDIBELL and CRG) to explore and discuss new collaboration opportunities and found the basis for future joint activities and projects.

The Microbiome in respiratory medicine Symposium is organized by the Barcelona Respiratory Network and aims to present and discuss most recent findings on the respiratory microbiome in health and disease, to review current cutting-edge research in this area, to identify priorities and gaps in the field and to discuss future implications for patient care and health systems.

Different targeted proteomics strategies have recently emerged in the field of proteomics that enable the detection and quantification of a predetermined subset of proteins with a high degree of sensitivity and reproducibility across many samples. This EMBO Practical Course aims to fill in the gap between theory and the actual implementation of the targeted proteomics workflow, so that by the end of the week the students have the necessary know-how to implement the targeted proteomics workflows on their own research laboratories.

Evolutionary theory forms the basis for our understanding of the natural world. The development, behaviour and physiology of our own species has been shaped by million of years of evolution. Furthermore, the interaction of humans with species that directly affect our health and survival is constantly being modified by evolutionary forces through natural or artificial selection. The conference aims to explore the interplay of evolution and medicine, acting either in our own species or on species directly affecting our well being.
