VIII CRG ANNUAL SYMPOSIUM "STEM CELLS, DIFFERENTIATION AND CANCER"

The CRG symposia have been highly successful in bringing together some of the best scientists in their field.

For the upcoming VIIIth symposium we have merged the fields of stem cell research and differentiation with that of cancer.

The DNA Model Contest is open to anyone from 8 to 18 years old!

There are 4 categories and 4 prizes worth 1000€ each! For example:

How is the daily routine of researchers?

Have your ever extracted the DNA from a kiwi? Do you know how Darwin developed his theory of evolution? Would you like to create you own fossil? Summing up… what’s science for?

Everything you always wanted to know about stem cells but were afraid to ask. A debate on the future of biomedicine

SCIENTIFIC COFFEE: Science & Sci-Fi: Where is the limit? 

Is it the same to create a sci-fi history and a scientific project? Does reality overcome fiction? Would it be possible to travel by teletransport? Will a pill be the solution for all?

Stress, drug addiction and eating disorders

A summer school at Dubrovnik with lecturers from the PRBB, University Pompeu Fabra and the Centre for Genomic Regulation!

Registration open!

SCIENTIFIC COFFE. EVOLUTION: FROM CELLS TO FACEBOOK

Do cells and social nets evolve in the same way? To evolve means to get more complex? Only biological life can evolve? How researchers study evolution today?
We have heard a lot about Darwin this year but, what we really know about evolution? Is evolution only related to life? Join us and let's discuss with two experts on evolution!
