| Event Name | Belgian Crystal Growing Competition |
| Start Date | 25th Feb 2013 |
| End Date | 29th Mar 2013 |
| Duration | 33 days |
| Description |
During a period of 4 weeks children from secondary schools have to grow single crystals, this year of alum.

| Description | The ribosome at high resolution: selected steps in protein biosynthesis conférence en anglais pour un public de scientifiques et d'étudiants en science Les progrès constants de la cristallographie des macromolécules biologiques et du rayonnement synchrotron ont conduit à l’élucidation de structures tridimensionnelles de complexes qui traduisent le code génétique en protéines. Ces structures ont permis d’établir les bases de la discrimination entre cellules hôtes et pathogènes et révélé des mécanismes de résistance aux antibiotiques. Dans le cadre des 100 ans de la cristallographie, le Professeur Ada Yonath, bio-cristallographe et co-récipiendaire du prix Nobel de chimie 2009, donnera deux conférences exceptionnelles à Grenoble. |
