The "Advanced proteomics course for molecular biologists and clinicians" will take place from Monday 7th until Friday 11th of July 2014 at the CRG in Barcelona. It will provide an extensive update on the most advanced proteomics techniques and applications.
We would like to invite you to the fourth Practical Summer Course: Modeling for Systems Biology. The 2014 edition of this successful course is again a joint initiative between the CRG and SystemsX.chand will take place from Sunday June 29th till Friday July 4th, 2014 at the PRBB in Barcelona.
With a length of around 2 meters, how does the DNA double helix fold so it can fit the 5-8 microns diameter of the cell nucleus? The spactial configuration of DNA makes this possible and biologists study the architecture of the double helix to answer this kind of questions.
At the same time, architects are inspired by the shapes, the organization and the structure of nature to create functional buildings.
In what kind of projects would architects and biologists collaborate? What they can learn from each other?
Biologists want to create artificial living beings Do they have the knowledge and the tools to do it ? Will Synthetic Biology change our lives?
Which are the risks and benefits of this technology? And which are the ethical boundaries comprom at issue?
Read about it, think and come coffee scientific on May 21st with your questions!
Are stem cells really a tool to cure human diseases? Are they found only in embryos or umbilical cord?
If adults have stem cells in their bodies, does it make sense to keep the umbilical cord stem cells at birth? What do scientists know exactly about stem cells nowadays? And what they don't know?
Come listen and ask whatever you want on this subjet to a panel of experts in a very different and innovative place, a bar run by a scientist doing research ... on stem cells!
El Centre de Regulació Genòmica (CRG), l’Institut d’Estudis Catalans (IEC) i l’Institut de Cultura de Barcelona (ICUB) organitzen una sèrie de quatre debats amb el títol «Neurociència i ... », en què tres ponents faran una presentació breu i a continuació es convidarà el públic assistent a participar en un debat obert.
