The Institute of Molecular Genetics welcomes the general public on October 1st 2016, for its Open Day. Attendees will learn what new opportunities the modern Molecular Genetics techniques are offering, for a higher social wellness. A brief serie of talks, will present the historical landmarks of genetic research and how they developed into the most advanced modern applications. Then, the attendees will have the opportunity to directly interact with the IGM-CNR researchers in different thematic workstations on: DNA, RNA, Protein, Cells, Bioinformatics, in order to learn how the genetic information is handled, decoded and used in a modern scientific research environment. Refreshments will follow.
