Today´s powerful new tools enable researchers to construct novel experiments in a wide range of fields—from basic biomedical research to biotechnology and medicine—allowing them to edit genomes at sites of their choosing.  Using most recent technologies in genome engineering, it is now possible to create knock-in, knock-outs and mutations of any gene in any cell line or organism with high efficiency. This approach allows to perturb biological systems at the gene as well as at the protein level.

This second CRG “Somatic Cell Reprogramming” course will­ will take place from Friday 23rd until Wednesday 28th of October 2015 at CRG in Barcelona. This CRG course will teach participants how to derive and maintain mouse and human pluripotent stem cells (iPS cells), reprogrammed heterokaryons and to differentiate ESC into embryonic bodies.

NEUROCIÈNCIA I… Sèrie de debats

L’ètica dels descobriments en neurociència

Els avenços en el coneixement sobre el funcionament bàsic del cervell estan guiant el desenvolupament d’eines terapèutiques cada vegada més sofisticades per curar o almenys alleujar els símptomes de malalties neurològiques i trastorns psiquiàtrics. No obstant això, aquests avenços no estan exempts de riscos que comporten dilemes ètics als quals la societat ha de donar resposta.
