🔴 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! 🚀

Hoy hemos presentado los cupones de la ONCE correspondientes a Cataluña Las académicas de la #raciencias Pilar Bayer y Núria López Bigas los protagonizan Gracias @DelegGobCAT por acoger el acto 😍

🧬 What if reading a tumor's mutations could tell us exactly how to fight it? Dr. @nlbigas.bsky.social is doing exactly that — decoding the genomic fingerprints of #cancer to guide personalized treatments. This is #CancerResearch, reimagined.

Happening tomorrow! Join our upcoming webinar, organised by the @helloeacr.bsky.social, on 09 April (14:00–15:30 CET) to explore the new CGI platform, virtual Molecular Tumour Boards, and a real clinical use case from Lyon. Save your spot: us02web.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

‼️Last days to apply for our postdoc position in the group! Please share!! jobs.vhio.net/en/jobs/7256...

CGI-Clinics supports the safe use of patient data in research to improve the quality of cancer research, ultimately benefiting patients and society 🧡 find out more about our ethical considerations: www.cgiclinics.eu/information-...

Join us for a FREE webinar on 'Streamlining Tumour Interpretation with the Cancer Genome Interpreter (CGI)', 9 April 2026: 14:00-15:30 CET. We'll explore the new CGI platform, the science behind it, and how oncologists, researchers, bioinformaticians and more can benefit. eacr.org/meeting/cgiw...

Interpretation is a bottleneck for the full deployment and broad accessibility of Next Generation Sequencing in cancer management, and CGI-Clinics aims to improve this step 👏 Learn more about our upcoming webinar:

#PCBCommunity |👩‍🔬Una científica neix o es fa? Amb motiu del #DiaDonaiNenaCiència, hem fet aquesta pregunta a 5 científiques d'entitats del PCB. Les seves respostes, diverses i complementàries, reflecteixen l’autèntic esperit científic: curiositat, creativitat i l'impuls de fer un món millor. #11F2026

Hoy, en el #11F, aplaudimos más que nunca a las mujeres y niñas en la ciencia. En el #IRBBarcelona creemos que la excelencia científica va de la mano de la igualdad.  ¡Feliz Día de la Mujer y la Niña en la Ciencia! 🙌 #WomeninSTEM #WomenInScience #WomenScienceDay #WomenInScience #WomenInSTEM

Today on #WorldCancerResearchDay, we stand with the global community in advancing the fight against cancer by improving access to personalised medicine. Through the CGI-Clinics project, we’re working to bring new hope to patients worldwide 🌍 #WCRD2026

Today is #WorldCancerDay. At #IRBBarcelona, #CancerResearch is part of our everyday work. We study cancer from multiple perspectives: from tumor biology to innovative therapies, to advance earlier detection, better treatments, and personalized medicine. Thank you for supporting our research! #WCD

Today, Nuria López-Bigas @nlbigas.bsky.social and Mònica Sánchez-Guixé @guixe-m.bsky.social are at the #BarcelonaBiomed Conference, organised by #IRBBarcelona. A great occasion to share our projects related to childhood cancers.

Just kicked off the #BarcelonaBioMed Conference “When Development Meets #Cancer-Origins, Models & Therapies in #ChildhoodCancer” Excited to hear from an outstanding line-up of speakers! Organized by #IRBBarcelona & @sjdhospitalbarcelona.org With the support of Fundación @bbvaenespana.bsky.social

Last week, @irbbarcelona.org met with the Chair of our External Advisory Board, Edwin Cuppen, to discuss the project's progress. We reflected on lessons learned from the process of clinical implementation of genomic profiling, and prepared for the next Board meeting that will happen in the new year.

Delighted and honored to have hosted the 3rd PROMINENT Retreat in Barcelona. The @cancergrand.bsky.social project led by Allan Balmain, Paul Brennan and Nuria Lopez-Bigas, is progressing thanks to the excellent science being performed by all the teams. Great meeting and best participants!

🚨 New paper alert! Sex and smoking bias in the selection of somatic mutations in human bladder www.nature.com/articles/s41... by @raquelbmi.bsky.social, @ferriol.bsky.social et al (in collaboration with Rosana Risques lab in @uwmedicine.bsky.social)

Ferriol Calvet and Raquel Blanco (on the left), PhD students at the @bbglab.bsky.social at #IRBBarcelona, are the first authors of this study. 📝 @nature.com (2025)-DOI: 10.1038/s41586-025-09521-x #IRBScience #CancerResearch 🧪

🗣️ Dr. @nlbigas.bsky.social: “Healthy tissues accumulate many mutations throughout life, but what matters is not only how many there are, but which ones manage to outgrow the others and expand into clones, which are copies of the same cell carrying the same mutations.”

Researchers led by Dr. @nlbigas.bsky.social & Dr. Abel González-Pérez at #IRBBarcelona, and Dr. Rosana Risques at the University of Washington, have shown that #smoking and biological sex influence how normal cells evolve in healthy bladder tissue.
