🦠"Estem estudiant com els canvis que es produeixen en la microbiota intestinal s’associen al càncer colorectal. O com els bacteris de la boca estan implicats en la hipertensió". 🗞 Toni Gabaldon, investigador @icreacommunity.bsky.social del BSC i @irbbarcelona.org a l' @ara.cat

Several of us are attending #sesbe2026 in Valencia. Today Saioa Manzano @microbiobits.bsky.social presented her work on evolution of Asgard archea genomes, showing they show a blend of eukaryotic-like and prokaryotic like processes.

🎉 Congratulations to Olfat Khannous, from the Comparative Genomics group on her successful #PhD tesis defense. 🙌 We wish you the best in your career! @olfatkl.bsky.social #BSCTalent

Very proud of the new doctor in the group, Olfat Khannous-Lleiffe congratulations for the great work and excellent defense @olfatkl.bsky.social ! Thank you also to the jury members Mani Arumugam, Mireia Valles-Colomer and Lara Nonell for their insights and discussions.

🧪How did life begin—and why does it matter? A new @asm.org report explores the origin of microbial life and its impact on biotech, climate, and astrobiology. Dr. @tonigabaldon.bsky.social contributed on eukaryotic origins. Read➕: https://shorturl.at/0infO #OriginOfLife #Biology #CellBiology

Our group is well represented at the #BCNmicrobiome meeting happening these days at #cosmocaixa . Come and see our posters!
