Last 24th and 25th of April, Andrea, Pablo, Elisenda and Albert went to Zurich to attend the Swiss Light-sheet Microscopy Workshop. It was a two days meeting in which researchers from all over the world gathered together to share the observational techniques they are using. Users and developers discussed newest advances in the […]
Elisenda and I (Roser) went to L’Olivera School, in Sant Cugat, yesterday, to talk about neuroscience to 8-year-old children. They celebrate the Science Week this week and bring researchers to the school to explain what they do in their labs. We talked about the brain, about neurons and glial cells, about neurotransmitters and about emotions. […]
Last week three research centers at UAB celebrated an Elevator Pitch contest. Students and researchers had 2 minutes to explain their research projects to the audience, in a fun and understandable way. There were 20 participants from the IBB, the ICTA-UAB and INc (our institute), and all of them talked about what they are doing […]
We published our first preprint last week. For those who aren’t familiarized, a preprint is a study to be published in a Journal, that has not been reviewed yet. The aim is to make the results available as soon as possible so Science can advance faster. We are very excited about it, and very happy […]
The Quintana-Sanz house was transported back to the USA last week. A huge turkey presided a big table around which the Quintanalab team sat to celebrate Thanksgiving. Albert and Eli feel nostalgia for their years in the States, and they try to maintain the best traditions (especially those involving food). There was a delicious pumpkin […]
Last Thursday 15th was the Open Doors day at the institute. 90 students from the Institut Torras i Bages and the Lycée Français de Barcelone visited the facilities of the center and learned about what we do in the laboratories. We had the opportunnity to talk to them about how our research can help understand […]
Last 10th and 11th of October, the INc celebrated its VI Scientific Conferences, and we were obviously there. It was fantastic! More than 130 researchers and students gathered together in a beautiful hotel, in Sant Feliu de Guíxols, to present their research and foster collaborations. PhD students of 2nd year gave scientific communications explaining their […]
Happy #MitoAwarenessWeek!
The European Research Council (ERC) has selected us for a Proof of Concept grant to develop a new research line focused on a novel approach to figh antibiotic resistances: the ResisTEST. This project, derived from the knowledge and experience gathered with NEUROMITO, has been chosen for its innovation potential, its significant impact and its quality, […]
We know it has been a while since April, but let us tell you about La Fira de la Recerca en Directe, an amazing Science Fair in which we were involved (yes, in April… these have been very busy months!). During 4 days, we were at the CosmoCaixa Science museum, showing our research and doing […]
