The study of these systems has proven extraordinarily fruitful for biotechnology: CRISPR-Cas9, originally discovered as a bacterial defense mechanism, has revolutionized genome editing and demonstrated the transformative potential of mining bacterial immunity for molecular tools.<br>\r\nYet the diversity of bacterial defense extends far beyond CRISPR. Bacteria have evolved numerous strategies to recognize and destroy foreign DNA, many of which remain poorly understood at the mechanistic level. A central question is how these systems distinguish self from non-self — and how the underlying molecular logic of DNA targeting is encoded in protein structure and biochemistry. We combine cryo-electron microscopy, quantitative biochemistry, and in vivo genomics to characterize newly discovered defense systems and dissect their targeting mechanisms. This work is revealing unexpected principles of foreign DNA recognition, with implications both for our understanding of bacterial immunity and for the development of next-generation biotechnological tools for genome editing and beyond.</p>", "image_description": "Bravo", "creation_date": "2026-05-18T10:59:28", "last_modification_date": "2026-05-18T10:59:28", "link_label": "", "link_url": "", "canceled": "False", "cancel_reason": "", "place_and_room": "SV 1717", "url_place_and_room": "https://plan.epfl.ch/?room==SV%201717", "url_online_room": "", "spoken_languages": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/2/?format=api" ], "speaker": "Jack Bravo, Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA)", "organizer": "Melanie Blokesch", "contact": "[email protected]", "is_internal": "False", "theme": "", "vulgarization": { "id": 2, "fr_label": "Public averti", "en_label": "Informed public" }, "registration": { "id": 3, "fr_label": "Entrée libre", "en_label": "Free" }, "keywords": "", "file": null, "icalendar_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/export/120785/", "category": { "id": 1, "code": "CONF", "fr_label": "Conférences - Séminaires", "en_label": "Conferences - Seminars", "activated": true }, "academic_calendar_category": null, "domains": [], "mementos": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/5/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/6/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/8/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/9/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/53/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/27/?format=api" ] }, { "id": 71798, "title": "Lunch Talks \"AI and Ethical Scientific Practices\"", "slug": "lunch-talks-ai-and-ethical-scientific-practices", "event_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/lunch-talks-ai-and-ethical-scientific-practices", "visual_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33121/200x112.jpg", "visual_large_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33121/720x405.jpg", "visual_maxsize_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33121/max-size.jpg", "lang": "en", "start_date": "2026-05-26", "end_date": "2026-05-26", "start_time": "12:15:00", "end_time": "13:45:00", "description": "<strong>Join the next Lunch Talks session, \"AI and Ethical Scientific Practices\", on May 26th, from 12:15 to 13:45, in <a href=\"https://plan.epfl.ch/?room=%3DBM%205202&dim_floor=5&lang=fr&dim_lang=fr&tree_groups=centres_nevralgiques_grp%2Cmobilite_acces_grp%2Crestauration_et_commerces_grp%2Censeignement%2Cservices_campus_grp%2Cequipements_grp&tree_group_layers_centres_nevralgiques_grp=&tree_group_layers_mobilite_acces_grp=metro&tree_group_layers_restauration_et_commerces_grp=&tree_group_layers_enseignement=guichet_etudiants&tree_group_layers_services_campus_grp=information_epfl&tree_group_layers_equipements_grp=&baselayer_ref=grp_backgrounds&map_x=2532974&map_y=1152504&map_zoom=15\">BM 5202</a>.</strong><br>\r\n<br>\r\nLanguage: English<br>\r\nDoors open from 12:05<br>\r\nFree lunch bag - water not included: bring your reusable bottle to reduce environmental impact<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>PROGRAM </strong><br>\r\n \r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li><strong>Talk 1: A Theoretical Lens on Responsible AI </strong>(10 min)</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nBy <a href=\"https://people.epfl.ch/orr.paradise\">Orr Paradise</a> – Postdoctoral fellow at EPFL and researcher at Project CETI<br>\r\n<br>\r\nToday's AI landscape can feel technologically inevitable: large models are used for everything, trained on everything, and trusted beyond what they can justify. In this talk, I will suggest that theoretical computer science offers a way to design and build alternatives. Drawing on work on Self-Proving Models and on research with the Cetacean Translation Initiative (Project CETI), I will describe how theory can help turn ideas such as verification and respect for the object of study into well-defined research questions.<br>\r\n \r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li><strong>Talk 2:</strong> <strong>Before You Train That Model: Legal and Ethical Basics for AI Research at EPFL </strong>(15 min)</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nBy <a href=\"https://people.epfl.ch/gaia.barazzetti\">Gaia Barazzetti</a> – Senior Research Ethics Compliance Officer, EPFL Research Office and <a href=\"https://people.epfl.ch/valentin.conrad\">Valentin Conrad</a> – Senior Legal Counsel, EPFL Legal Affairs<br>\r\n<br>\r\nTaking scientific integrity as a starting point, this presentation provides an overview of the legal and ethical rules that apply to AI research at EPFL. Topics include data protection, copyright, and ethical requirements for AI projects, particularly when people or personal data are involved.<br>\r\n \r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li><strong>Talk 3: Ethics Committees and AI in Research: A Practical Perspective</strong> (10 min)</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nBy <a href=\"https://annuaire.unil.ch/person/pfFzXB2bjLZnA4\">Pablo Diaz</a> – Research Ethics Officer, UNIL<br>\r\n<br>\r\nAs artificial intelligence becomes embedded in research practices, new ethical questions arise regarding how research is designed, conducted, and interpreted. This presentation focuses on the practical work of ethics committees in reviewing research projects involving AI. It highlights how committees examine assumptions, risks, impacts, and responsibilities throughout the research process, including the use of AI as a tool and as an object of study. The talk aims to clarify the specific contribution of ethics review in supporting responsible and reflective AI enabled research.<br>\r\n \r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li><strong>Talk 4: AI for research and research about AI: a responsible design approach </strong>(10 min)</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nBy <a href=\"https://people.epfl.ch/cecile.hardebolle\">Cécile Hardebolle</a> – Teaching Advisor (EPFL CEDE), Project Officer (EPFL LEARN) and Lecturer (EPFL SIN)<br>\r\n<br>\r\nAI is increasingly present in research, whether as a tool or as an object of research, which raises specific risks if ethical considerations are overlooked. This talk presents a practical approach to identifying, assessing, and managing these risks throughout the research lifecycle by embedding responsible design practices from the start.<br>\r\n \r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li><strong>Panel for Q&A, open discussion</strong></li>\r\n</ul>\r\nModeration by <a href=\"https://people.epfl.ch/nora.turoman\">Nóra Turoman</a>, Training Specialist for Academic and Research Support – EPFL Library.<br>\r\n \r\n<div> </div>\r\nThe event is free upon <a href=\"https://bookwhen.com/epfl_library/e/ev-sbesy-20260526121500\">registration</a>.

Particular interest is attracted by resonant metasurfaces, where optical modes provide extreme confinement of light in the nanostructures volume and subsequent enhancement of light-matter interaction. This aspect is essential to boost the efficiency of various phenomena, from optical nonlinearities (e.g., multiphoton interaction like in second-harmonic generation) to reconfiguration mechanisms (i.e., dynamic modulation of the refractive index). In this talk I will survey techniques of controlling light at the nanoscale, focusing on nonlinear and reconfiguration processes, what they offer and what are their limitations.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong><u>You don't know POBs?</u></strong><br>\r\nPOBs (Pizza-Optics-Beer) are monthly seminars organized by the student association EPFL Photonics Chapter.<br>\r\nA PhD or a postdoc gives a 20-minutes presentation about his/her research in photonics.

One leading idea is that RNA played a central role because it can act both as genetic material and as a catalyst. A major challenge has been that known RNA polymerase ribozymes, the catalysts of RNA copying, are large and complex, making them difficult to copy and unlikely to arise from prebiotic RNA sequence pools.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nIn this seminar, Edoardo Gianni will present QT45, a compact 45-nucleotide RNA polymerase ribozyme discovered from random RNA sequence pools. QT45 can catalyse the two essential reactions required for RNA self-replication: the synthesis of itself and the synthesis of its complementary strand. This work suggests that RNA-copying activity may be more common in sequence space than previously thought. It also brings us closer to understanding how self-replicating molecular systems could emerge in nature and be reconstructed in the laboratory.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nPlease join us for a fascinating seminar at the interface of origin-of-life chemistry, RNA biology, and synthetic molecular systems.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nLet me know if you would like to meet Edo during the day.</div>\r\n</div>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e552a16 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\">\r\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\"> </div>\r\n</div>", "image_description": "", "creation_date": "2026-01-06T13:09:20", "last_modification_date": "2026-05-18T09:02:55", "link_label": "", "link_url": "", "canceled": "False", "cancel_reason": "", "place_and_room": "SV 1717", "url_place_and_room": "https://plan.epfl.ch/?room==SV%201717", "url_online_room": "https://epfl.zoom.us/j/64709337579", "spoken_languages": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/2/?format=api" ], "speaker": "<strong>Edoardo Gianni</strong> Investigator Scientist, MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology, Cambridge, UK", "organizer": "Juan Manuel García-Arcos, PhD, Group Leader, Ambizione Fellow EPFL SV ISREC UPGON", "contact": "Lisa Smith, ISREC Administrative Assistant", "is_internal": "True", "theme": "", "vulgarization": { "id": 2, "fr_label": "Public averti", "en_label": "Informed public" }, "registration": { "id": 3, "fr_label": "Entrée libre", "en_label": "Free" }, "keywords": "Chemistry, Engineering", "file": null, "icalendar_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/export/119181/", "category": { "id": 1, "code": "CONF", "fr_label": "Conférences - Séminaires", "en_label": "Conferences - Seminars", "activated": true }, "academic_calendar_category": null, "domains": [], "mementos": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/1/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/5/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/8/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/9/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/26/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/6/?format=api" ] }, { "id": 71707, "title": "QSE Center Spring Assembly", "slug": "qse-center-spring-assembly", "event_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/qse-center-spring-assembly", "visual_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33033/200x112.jpg", "visual_large_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33033/720x405.jpg", "visual_maxsize_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33033/max-size.jpg", "lang": "en", "start_date": "2026-05-29", "end_date": "2026-05-29", "start_time": "14:00:00", "end_time": "16:00:00", "description": "<p>The QSE Center Spring Assembly will take place on Friday May 29, 2026, from 14h-16h in CM 1 105.
