"Asilomar 1975-2025: EMBO, EMBL and the Politics of Scientific Expertise"

che il Prof. Francesco Cassata terrà venerdì 14 marzo alle 11:30, presso l’Aula Arturo Falaschi (IGM-CNR)

Francesco Cassata is Professor of Contemporary History at the University of Genoa. In November 2022, he was granted a 3-year secondment at the Centro Linceo “Beniamino Segre” of the Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei, on a research project on the early history of EMBO/EMBC/EMBL.

He has published on the history of eugenics and scientific racism, on the history of the “Lysenko controversy”, on the history of molecular biology in Italy (particularly, the EMBO founder Adriano Buzzati- Traverso and the International Laboratory of Genetics and Biophysics in Naples). On the history of EMBO and EMBC, he has published: “‘A Cold Spring Harbor in Europe’. EURATOM, UNESCO, and the Foundation of EMBO”, (Journal of
the History of Biology, 2015); “A ‘heavy hammer to crack a small nut'? The creation of the European Molecular Biology Conference (EMBC), 1963-1970”, (Annals of Science, 2024).

La seconda Summer School in citofluorimetria, organizzata dal Centro Grandi Strumenti, si terrà  in presenza nel mese di Giugno. Il corso sarà aperto principalmente a dottorandi, ricercatori, assegnisti, borsisti, personale PTA e studenti dell'Università di Pavia che non abbiano partecipato alla prima edizione del 2023. L'obiettivo del corso è aumentare la conoscenza di base nell'ambito della citofluorimetria e comprendere quali studi possano essere condotti con gli strumenti presenti nella nostra core facility.
