Here it is the talk Albert gave for the first Federative Day for Neuroscience in Strasbourg, organized by Doctoneuro, on April 20th, 2018 – Nice summary about what mitochondrial diseases are and what work we do in the lab!
As part of our Outreach activities, last week, together with other researchers at Institut de Neurociències (INc), the QuintanaLab participated in the INc-Open Doors Day 2017. 20 high school students aged 15-17 visited our laboratory and learned firsthand what a scientific research laboratory is like and how the research is carried out. We explained them […]
Last week, the Quintana lab attended the 1st European PhD and Postdoc Symposium held in the beautiful, Pompeian Style, Palauet Casades in Barcelona, Spain. The international event was possible through the ENABLE (European Academy for Biomedical Science) initiative, part of the European Union Horizon 2020, for young researchers in Life Sciences. It was a very successful initiative with […]

Wow! what a busy time this past year has been! Many (good) things and (good) news to explain! New members, new papers, exciting science… here you are a picture of the lab just before summer break! First of all, we are glad to announce three! new additions to the lab: Kelsey, Fabien and Patrizia. (disclaimer: […]
One of the key parts of science, and in opinion, what really is it all about, is to communicate one’s research, to announce your results to colleagues and to give back to society by explaining the breakthroughs (or complications) of our research, even if that means (sometimes), cancelled flights, a lot of flying hours, delayed […]
Recently (this past February, sorry, we are running a little bit late!) we were invited by the Spanish Research Agency in the USA to attend the Destination Europe conference held in Boston, MA, organized by the European Commission. The event was designed to showcase the research opportunities in Europe to any scientist interested in working in Europe. […]
Some good news in the lab! We are extremely happy to welcome our new technician, Andrea Urpí. Andrea graduated in 2014 (Biochemistry) from the Universitat de Barcelona (UB) and obtained a Masters in Clinical Analyses from the Universitat Pompeu Fabra in Barcelona – UPF in 2015. Andrea is joining the lab as a research technician but she is also testing to waters to see which […]
To celebrate that it has been 30 years since Spain joined the European Union, its Barcelona Office has decided to look at twelve personal stories that highlight the impact the EU has had on them (as a proxy for society). The stories range from funds to promote local agriculture, film making to, as in our case, […]
