🔴 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! 🚀
#ColorectalCancer is the world's #2 cancer killer, yet it's one of the most preventable.
We asked Dr. Carme Cortina (@batllelab.bsky.social) one simple question: how close are we to changing that?
Her answer might surprise you 🎥 👇

¿Existe un límite biológico para la vida humana?
La investigación en #envejecimiento estudia procesos celulares como el daño acumulado, el acortamiento de los telómeros o la #senescencia para comprender si este límite podría modificarse en el futuro.

#LynnMargulis (March 5, 1938) changed how we understand life.
She proposed that complex cells didn’t evolve alone—they formed through partnerships between ancient microbes. Her theory of endosymbiosis was rejected more than 15 times. Today, it’s fundamental biology.
