DNA SCHOOL 2007, November 28   GMOs under debate in Poitiers     In partnership with “Terre (earth) des sciences”, the Angers-based CCSTI and the Poitou-Charentes INRA, the Poitou-Charentes DNA school along with the pole of Espace Mendès-France devoted to the history of sciences and techniques is organizing two days of study (Wednesday the 5th and Thursday the 6th of December) revolving around the theme of genetically modified organisms (GMO). The program? The days will involve practical workshops (how, for example, to manufacture a GMO), lectures, first-hand reports and round tables. Scientists, teachers, militants from associations .. and simple citizens, as well, will be asked to offer commentary on 30 years of genetic engineering. “If we are to go by the sheer number of reports and articles, genetically modified organisms had never before been such a hot topic of conversation”, admits Laurent Fillion, director of the Poitou-Charentes DNA school. These meetings will provide an excellent occasion to see where we now stand as regards GMOs. It bears mentioning that the gathering will be chaired by Cécile Klinger, who is in charge of the biology pages of the French magazine La Recherche. http://www.biopole-poitiers.org/dyn/programme-rencontres-ogm.pdf The Biopole en masse at Eurobio 2008 Read ...   Water information days (September 23 – September 25) Read ...   The rose and its genetic transformation Read ...   Christian Huyghe aims for “excellence” read...   Creating “medical branches” read...   A neuro-cardio-vascular pole is taking root read...   Valagro on the horticulture market read...   ERM, the winning spin-off read...   GMOs under debate in Poitiers read...   Isabelle Cameleyre, new representative read...   Cystic fibrosis: The molecule of hope read...   Irfaq, a manufacturer of innovations read...   CHU: State-of-the-art quality read...   Soil organic matter under examination read...   Parexel: The Cap provides its support read...   Philippe Michonneau: “The Biopole, fertile soil” read...   Painless monitoring of hepatitis read...   The Biopole structured as an association read...   Futuramat steps up the pace read...   Technova, or life in 3D read...   B Braun burnishes its image read...   Proteomics platform: The CHU strides ahead read...   The three missions of the University Botanical Garden read...   Clinsight in the big leagues read...   Natural energies for an autonomous building read...   Aster-Cephac turns into SGS Cephac read...   The previously unseen heart read...   BIOalternatives diversifies its markets read...   Two Poitiers-based projects awarded read...   IUT pores over biofuels read...   Poitiers, the biotechnology capital read...   PAREXEL wagers on the human factor read...   Saunier and associates wish to diversify read...   Biocydex and BioXtract move forward hand in hand read...   The grass of champions read...   Ianesco steadfastly believes in its future read...   A tumorotheque, what is the purpose it serves? read...   TechnAvOx has turned the corner read...   Larime is aiming for 40 beds in Poitiers read...   Poitiers is out to promote its research read...   A true Biopole milestone read...   A regional cancerology pole in the pipeline for 2007 read...   Nobel prize winners in Poitiers read...   A platform offering numerous advantages read...   @rtMolecule fashions in its own way read...   It’s plastic, it’s fantastic read...   The Poitiers hospital (CHU) stakes its claim read...   BIOalternatives exports its know-how read...   The physiological and computer science engineering program turns 30 read...   The Biopole takes center stage at Investiga read...           Legal mentions
