After his conference "Science and the World's future" in the Institut Jacques Monod / Paris Diderot, we had the pleasure to welcome Bruce ALBERTS at the CRI in Paris thursday 1st and Friday 2nd of July 2010.

Bruce Alberts, president of the National Academy of Sciences in Washington, D.C., is a respected biochemist recognized for his work both in biochemistry and molecular biology. He is noted particularly for his extensive study of the protein complexes that allow chromosomes to be replicated, as required for a living cell to divide.

He is one of the original authors of "The Molecular Biology of the Cell", considered the leading textbook of its kind and used widely in U.S. colleges and universities. His most recent text, "Essential Cell Biology" (1998), is intended to approach this subject matter for a wider audience.
