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 mitochondrial disease and find novel treatments.
We also explained what techniques we use. They could observe fluorescent mitochondria under the microscope, saw cool molecular biology tools and learned how to measure neuronal activity!
Fabien was specially happy because he could speak in French 😉
It was a very good experience and we hope it helped incentivate scientific vocations among them!
