This year the CRG Symposium will focus on Gene Regulation, Stem Cells and Cancer. Please come back soon for more information regarding the content of this event and to register.
In the meantime, we would like to present you the list of accepted speakers:

This course will focus on the preparation of next generation sequencing library preparation for sequencing on the Illumina platform. Aside from library preparation for standard genomic sequencing and for directional mRNA seq, this course will teach advanced methods for the preparation of libraries from very small quantities of starting material. In particular, the course schedule will include teaching smart seq, a protocol for sequencing the transcriptomes of single cells and MALBAC, designed to sequence single cell genomes.

What happens when a biologist, a physicist and an artist look through the microscope?

Microscopy techniques have improved greatly since the first optical microscopes. And physicists, engineers, and even biologists, still look for improvements.

What are these advances? Do they alter reality?
 
Scientists frequently use fluorescent proteins or antibodies to visualize different aspects of cell, organelles and tissues and this can alter what we observe under the microscope.

What types of new technologies are in need by biologists?
