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!

Don't miss our extraordinary #seminar to be held next week, with @jdegregori.bsky.social, from the University of Colorado Anschutz (@cuanschutz.bsky.social). Host: Dr. @nlbigas.bsky.social (@bbglab.bsky.social#seminar #IRBBarcelona) Register here 👉 https://shorturl.at/n74Th #CancerResearch 🧪

Excited to see this thought provoking piece of work now published. So much more to learn about mutagenesis in healthy tissue.

Very excited to share our new paper on the influence of biological sex and smoking in the clonal landscape of normal human bladder, just published in Nature. A big thank you and congrats to all the authors, specially to @raquelbmi.bsky.social for all the shared efforts in this journey! ⬇️More info⬇️

Very happy to share that our paper on the influence of biological sex and smoking in the clonal landscape of the normal human bladder is out today in Nature. Kudos to all the authors and especially to @ferriol.bsky.social for coming along with me during this project's journey! 🧵Summary following ⬇️

🚨 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)

New paper from our lab - ‪@bbglab.bsky.social‬. Oncodrive3D: fast and accurate detection of structural clusters of somatic mutations under positive selection academic.oup.com/nar/article/... Kudos to Stefano, Olivia, @fmuinos.bsky.social and Abel

Back after a few days in Lisbon for the annual #EACR2025 conference! Inspiring and great science. Glad for the opportunity to present our work, coming home with a bunch of new ideas! @bbglab.bsky.social @ferriol.bsky.social

@ewaszczurek.bsky.social explains how evolution is the generative process of cancer at #AACR25.

Jeffrey Townsend (that's me!) presents on dismantling the coarse approximation of drivers and passengers in cancer at #AACR25. Thank you @nlbigas.bsky.social for the photo!

@nlbigas.bsky.social explains how they assemble a compenduim of driver genes 🧬 in cancer at #AACR25.

We're at #CCG2025 in Amsterdam! Project Coordinator @nlbigas.bsky.social is delivering a keynote lecture on the CGI-Clinics project today, 'Data-driven cancer genome interpretation for clinical decision making': www.ccg2025.eu/speaker/nuri...

This Friday 12/6 at 4pm, Núria López-Bigas, PhD @nlbigas.bsky.social @irbbarcelona.bsky.social presents "Somatic mutations in tumors and normal tissues" at our Friday Seminar Series in Basic and Translational Research cancer.ucsf.edu/seminars

Today at IRB Barcelona (@irbbarcelona.bsky.social) #NodeSeminar Stefano Pellegrini presented: "Detection of cancer driver genes with clusters of somatic mutations in protein three-dimensional structure" Very good presentation and nice discussion within the IRB Barcelona community

Only a subset of patients respond to immunotherapy Why? Which ones? We conducted an unbiased analysis of response biomarkers and found that hundreds of possible biomarkers collapse into five latent, orthogonal factors that underlie immunotherapy response. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Women are under-represented at senior levels in #academia globally, & across all #science 🧪 disciplines, as shown by these "scissor-shaped curves" ✂️ So how can we ever achieve #gender #equality? We discuss various strategies in this #Cell Commentary #WomeninSTEM www.cell.com/cell/fulltex... 🧵 1/

Children who develop two independent tumors during childhood are extremely rare We wanted to see if our genomic technologies could shed light into those exceptional cases. Read about it in this recent paper: tinyurl.com/yt9m584d
