CRG TAKES PART IN THE 9th  EDITION OF THE “LIVE RESEARCH” FAIR

From April 5 to 7, CRG researchers are demonstrating a real line of research from the Mechanisms of Cancer and Aging laboratory.
 
The “Live Research” Fair aims to improve scientific understanding and awareness in our society by presenting to the public research that is currently being undertaken in Barcelona. Several institutes exhibit projects from their research groups. They formulate an enigma, which attendees solve by experimenting and using the laboratory tools that scientists bring to the exhibit at La Pedrera in Barcelona.
 
The CRG proposal is titled “Cancer and aging: a question of balance”. It is focused on the relationship between cancer and senescence. Students attending the fair will learn about these processes and will be able to run a small experiment to investigate the role of the protein p63 in stem cells.
 
The “Live Research” Fair is organized by the Barcelona Scientific Park (Parc Científic de Barcelona) with the cooperation of the Catalan Biology Society and the support of the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation, the Department of Economy and Knowledge of the Government of Catalonia and the Obra Social CatalunyaCaixa.
