Science Today takes the temperature of science in 2022 and invites you to a new kind of afterwork/after school. Here, doctoral students and postdocs get the chance to present their research on stage. After the talks, we continue with a networking mingle in the bar with music that stimulates the brain!
After our first two meetings, The Complexity of the Brain and An Exploration of Space, it’s time to explore genetics and the development of genetic engineering. We will talk about DNA that is the genetic material in all living organisms and dive into different types of genetic research and the building blocks of genetic codes. Did you know, for example, that the DNA molecule in a human consists of 2 meters of DNA in a DNA strand consisting of two polymers?
Genetics has been awarded the Nobel Prize many times, from fundamental breakthroughs about the structure of DNA, to the PCR method that made today’s DNA tests possible. In recent years, the gene scissors CRISPR/Cas9 has attracted attention – a breakthrough for which Emmanuelle Charpentier and Jennifer A. Doudna were awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for the year 2020. Using the gene scissors, researchers can change the DNA of animals, plants and microorganisms with extremely high precision. This technology has had a revolutionary impact on life sciences, new cancer therapies and may be a way to realize the dream of curing hereditary diseases.
The evening’s conversation is held in English and is led by the Nobel Prize Museum’s Olof Somell. After the conversation, the evening continues with mingling and the chance to network to create new contacts and for new ideas to take shape. Bistro Nobel offers a mixed Friday menu of food, wine and beer or why not a cocktail?
Science Today is a collaboration with Karolinska Institutet, the Royal Institute of Technology and Stockholm University
