Awesome Horizons of #Biomedicine conference celebrating @irbbarcelona.org ’s 20th Anniversary 🎂! Grateful to be part of this incredible journey, surrounded by outstanding science and inspiring people. Cheers to 20 more years of #Innovation🧠 #Research🔬, #Discovery💡 and #Cure💊!
🧪 New biomarker to determine whether #immunotherapy may work in people with colon & rectal #cancer.
🔬A study by @researchmar.bsky.social & #IRBBarcelona, published in the journal Gut.

🤔Do you think that OXPHOS in DCs = tolerance?
In our new @cp-cellmetabolism.bsky.social #cnic_cardio & @irbbarcelona.org, we show that active #mitochondrial ETC primes cDC1s for immunogenicity, not tolerance.
Life (& #immunometabolism) is not simple ⚡️

The Milán Lab celebrating 20 years of @irbbarcelona.org
🗣️ @luisquevedo.bsky.social: "Curiosity-driven science ends up transforming how we live. Sometimes in ways nobody could have predicted at the beginning. That is why today we celebrate 20 years of curiosity, of a place where that instinct has been preserved, cultivated & transformed into knowledge."
🎂 Twenty years in. The science doesn't stop, but now #IRBBarcelona pauses to celebrate the people who made it happen.
Here's to the next twenty! 🥂
#HorizonsOfBiomedicine
📌 Institutional closing of #HorizonsOfBiomedicine by Joan Guàrdia (@rectorub.bsky.social), Rector of the @ub.edu.
20 years of science don't happen without long-term commitment. From institutions, from people, from society.
Thanks for attending this very special conference!
#HorizonsOfBiomedicine
Dr. Raúl Méndez takes the stage to close this inspiring conference.
2 days of science that remind us: asking the right questions matters just as much as finding the answers.
As we wrap up, the conversations continue, and so does the drive to explore what lies ahead in the #HorizonsOfBiomedicine.
📌 Now: Dr. Joan Massagué takes the stage at #HorizonsOfBiomedicine.
Decades of pioneering research on how #cancer spreads — a career that has helped define the field.
A fitting close to a conference focused on the future of #biomedicine.
#HorizonsOfBiomedicine Session 4 chaired by
Dr. Modesto Orozco & Melani Juric:
🔸 Dr. Scott Lowe on #senescence & #cancer.
🔸 Dr. Brenda Andrews on mapping genetic networks.
🔸 Dr.
@direnaac.bsky.social on #epigenetics, #inflammation & cancer.
🔸 Dr. Cristina Mayor-Ruiz on decoding ubiquitin ligases.

That’s a wrap for today. See you tomorrow again at #HorizonsOfBiomedicine for more exciting science and amazing people!
📌 Session 3 at #HorizonsOfBiomedicine, chaired by @aznarbenitahlab.bsky.social & Amelia Kurti.
🔸 Dr. John Dick on what drives #leukaemia beyond genetics.
🔸 Dr. @alejofraticelli.bsky.social on why blood stem cells aren't all the same.
Same disease. Different origins. Very different implications.
🔬 Metabolic networks, mitochondrial diversity, immune adaptation.
📌 Session 2 at #HorizonsOfBiomedicine, chaired by
@milanlab.bsky.social & Jake Pickering, with Dr.
@marianwalhout.bsky.social, Dr. @analechugavieco.bsky.social & Dr. @swculek.bsky.social — and #mitochondria at the center of it all.
📌 Session 1 #HorizonsOfBiomedicine (chairs: @batllelab.bsky.social, @llibre.bsky.social):
🔸 Dr. Hans Clevers on #organoids redefining disease models.
🔸 Dr. @johannajoyce.bsky.social on tumours as living ecosystems.
🔸 Dr. Alexandra Avgustinova on mapping #ChildhoodCancer origins.
🗣️ Welcome session kicked off with institutional insights from Dr. Antoni Plasencia (Dir. of Research & Innovation), Dr. Teresa Sanchis (Dir. General for Research) #IRBBarcelona Director Dr. Francesc Posas.
Fundamental science, real-world impact. The bet #IRBBarcelona has been making for 20 years.
🎂 Complim 20 anys! I ho celebrem com cal 🎉
El Dr. Francesc Posas i el Dr. Joan Massagué han passat pel programa "Tot es Mou" de 3Cat per explicar com hem arribat fins aquí.
Vint anys de ciència. Gràcies per ser-hi! 🙌

#IRBBarcelona #20Anys #Biomedicina
🔴 Live from #IRBBarcelona:
The #BarcelonaBiomed conference #HorizonsOfBiomedicine just kicked off and the energy in the room says it all.
A conference that’s not just about looking back, but defining what comes next.
Ready to celebrate 20 years of discovery.
Let’s begin! 🚀
🧪 Hallado un biomarcador para que más pacientes con #CáncerdeColon reciban #inmunoterapia.
👉 La investigación, liderada por el @researchmar.bsky.social y el #IRBBarcelona, puede beneficiar a unas 10.000 personas al año en España.

#PCBCommunity |🧬 @irbbarcelona.org, @researchmar.bsky.social i @ciberisciii.bsky.social identifiquen un biomarcador clau per al pronòstic de la immunoteràpia en pacients amb càncer de còlon i recte: La proteïna CTHRC1 pot determinar l'eficàcia del tractament obrint noves vies per l'estudi del tumor.
#PCBCommunity |🧬 Investigadors de @irbbarcelona.org i @idibaps.bsky.social identifiquen un nou mecanisme que regula la producció de proteïnes al fetge sota estrès metabòlic. L'estudi revela que fins al 70% de la resposta cel·lular es controla en la traducció de l'ARNm. 🔬
🔬Es pot predir qui respondrà a la immunoteràpia en càncer colorectal?
🧬Nou biomarcador (CTHRC1) identificat a l'estudi liderat per Alexandre Calon @researchmar.bsky.social i Eduard Batlle @batllelab.bsky.social @irbbarcelona.org
