From March 26 to 29, 2026, the “CRISPR Roadshow” took place in Dresden, making science accessible and engaging for everyone. The diverse program offered the opportunity to learn about the CRISPR/Cas method, talk to experts, and discover science in an entertaining way.
The event was organized by BioWissKomm, a company specializing in science communication, in collaboration with the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics (MPI-CBG), the Center for Regenerative Therapies Dresden (CRTD) at TU Dresden, and TU Dresden.
At the MPI-CBG, in addition to guided tours of the facility, the discussion forum “You Ask – We Explain” took place on March 28 at 7:00 p.m. Following a brief introduction to the CRISPR-Cas methodology and its potential applications, a panel of experts answered and discussed questions from the audience.
During the roadshow, additional events took place at the COSMO Science Forum, TU Dresden, and the CRTD, among other locations, as well as a theater performance of the TU Dresden theater DIE BÜHNE.
Thanks to funding from the German Research Foundation (DFG) and donations from Roche, DRESDEN-concept, the VBIO, the Society for Genetics, and the Society for Developmental Biology, all events were free of charge.
