Earlier this year, Aniol and Marcos attended the II Mitochondrial Winter School, in Bressanone, Italy. It was an intensive program bringing together researchers from across the globe who study mitochondrial diseases. The school offered a unique chance to interact directly with leading investigators in the field, learning about the latest techniques and research topics. The […]
Albert was in Madrid last Saturday to participate in the Asociación de enfermos de patologías mitocondriales’s meeting, at Fundación Once. It was a very constructive and informative day, where experts in different fields related to mitochondrial disease presented their updates on research, patient registry and therapies. The conferences offered a big picture of where we […]
These are difficult days all around the world. Here in Barcelona, the number of infected people is still increasing, with no prospects for improvement in the short term. Hospitals are facing a lack of human and material resources, hence our University made a call to gather protection and detection equipment. Among other material, they collected […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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. […]
It’s been a while since the last post, and for a good reason! It has been a really hectic couple of months… But first things first… During these months the lab space has taken shape, there is still some construction going on, but the main lab space is done. You can take a look at […]
Early last month we attended the 2014 UMDF Symposium , held in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The UMDF does a great job in providing quite a unique opportunity to promote the interaction between mitochondrial disease researchers and clinicians with families and patients. This year was not an exception and we really enjoyed the 4-day meeting under a […]
