#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

Huge congratulations to Fran on being awarded the ERC Consolidator Grant! 🎉 Such a well-deserved recognition of an outstanding trajectory and a truly creative, exciting proposal on T-cell clonal hematopoiesis. Can’t wait to see the discoveries that come out of this project. So proud of you! 👏✨

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.
