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. […]
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, […]
This past Thursday the Quintana lab was honored to share a wonderful night at the Círculo Ecuestre of Barcelona to raise awareness for mitochondrial disease research. The event was organized by Isabel Lavín (and her husband Valero), the parents of Mencía, a really wonderful 7 year-old girl, and gathered a large audience of friends, mito families […]
This past Saturday we had the opportunity to share our research with a select group of members and friends of the NW Mitochondrial Research Guild. The event, aptly named Mito Science Night, included a tour around the different labs in the Mitochondrial Program: the Morgan/Sedensky lab, the Hahn lab and the Quintana lab. Guests were […]
Recently I had the opportunity to collaborate with KOMO TV and Seattle Children’s Hospital to help explain what we do and what are our goals in the Quintana lab. We like to do our best to raise awareness of mitochondrial disease! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x77EMtGYI4w&feature=youtu.be
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 […]
A few months ago, the Quintana lab participated in the 2014 edition of the Neuroscience’s Frontiers Webinars, organized by both CERFA and SRUK, the associaciations of Spanish Scientists in Germany and the UK, respectively. It was a really interesting webinar, with speakers from all over the world, and it was a great opportunity for the […]
