💬 As we reflect on the words of Rosalind Franklin, we are reminded of the beauty and wonder of uncovering the mysteries of our world. Science, much like the holiday season, brings us together in awe, curiosity, and shared hope for a brighter future. 🥂 Here’s to a year filled with innovation, learning, and the pursuit of knowledge that transforms our world. Happy Holidays and best wishes for an extraordinary 2025! ✨

📌 This is the first image from the new 2️⃣ 0️⃣ 2️⃣ 5️⃣ IRB Barcelona calendar!👇 🦠 "Candida Cosmos", created by Mrinalini Parmar from our Comparative Genomics lab. 📸 The image showcases colonies of the five most pathogenic Candida species, each represented in a different color. 🍾🥂 Happy 2025 to everyone! Wishing you a new year filled with health, science, and exciting discoveries! 🎊🎉🎉 #Candida #HappyNewYear #NewYear #Research 

🤝 Meet Dr. Stefanie Wculek, a leading expert in innate immune biology 👇 ✅ She developed an effective pre-clinical cancer immunotherapy based on a subset of dendritic cells as part of a large international consortium of industrial, clinical and basic scientists. ✅ Moreover, she discovered metabolic differences of tissue macrophages that depend on their organ of residence, which leads to therapeutically exploitable vulnerabilities of those cells. ✅ Overall, her work established the surprising diversity of functions and dependencies of dendritic cell and macrophage populations in vivo in health and non-infectious inflammatory diseases. In 2023, Dr. Wculek joined IRB Barcelona as Group Leader to head the Innate Immune Biology laboratory. 🎥 Meet her here! ▶️ https://lnkd.in/dHPkeTKN #IRBScience #MeetOurScientists #ImmuneSystem #InnateImmuneBiology #Research

Sens dubte, una de les grans notícies sorgides de la #BISTCommunity aquest final d'any és l'estudi liderat pels investigadors de l'IRB Barcelona Xavier Salvatella i Raul Mendez sobre el paper crucial dels condensats de la proteïna CPEB4. L'estudi, publicat a Nature, obre noves vies per al desenvolupament de teràpies dirigides per a l' #autisme. https://lnkd.in/dAFKiyJU

En el marco del V CiMUS Workshop organizado desde el CiMUS (Center for Research in Molecular Medicine and Chronic Diseases), el Dr. Angel R.
