5 pm - 12 am, Live Q&A on Instagram 6:30 - 7 pm

The molecular gene scissors CRISPR are a hot topic. But what can this powerful tool really do? Can it indeed make us younger and healthier and bring back extinct species? Play the "CRISPR traffic light" with us and find out what is possible with CRISPR today, what can become possible in the future and what is and remains pure fantasy.

With Dr. Dubravka Vučićević, Dr. Andreas Ofenbauer and Eric Danner

Not just another day in the lab

Once again the Long Night of Sciences brought thousands of curious visitors streaming onto campus and into the MDC for a glimpse into daily life in our laboratories. The event was an opportunity for exchange for both the scientists who offered tours and the public who will eventually benefit from their work.

Sugar and spice and all things mice

On June 11, 2016, the MDC held a Long Night of the Sciences (Lange Nacht der Wissenschaften). Science fans of all ages took the opportunity to go on guided tours of the MDC laboratories, trying out fun activities like sampling “molecule meringues.”

That was the Long Night of Science 2015 on Campus Buch

Sun, rain, thunder and lightning – the Long Night of Sciences was pretty diverse and not just from a meteorological perspective. Beating heart cells in a dish, fluorescent worms, cells under the smartphone microscope and a crime scene investigation with the help of DNA samples were only some of the events organized by the MDC, the Leibniz-Institute for Molecular Pharmacology (FMP) and the Gläserne Labor.
