Today, on the ✨ International Day of Women and Girls in Science ✨ , we celebrate the little girls behind the scientists we are today. May every girl find representation in today's world and feel that science is a place where she belongs and where her curiosity can grow into discovery.

Today is the World NTD day! 👩🏾‍⚕️ Who are the people looking for new vaccines against #NeglectedTropicalDiseases such as parasitic worm infections? 🏥 Meet the team at CERMEL, one of the #WORMVACS partners➡️ youtu.be/4Ver6pTdWgY @ec.europa.eu #HaDEA #BeatNTDs #schistosomiasis #worldNTDday

We have a new paper out in BMC Medicine on long-term immune responses to SARS-CoV-2 in asymptomatic-to-moderate COVID-19 cases from sub-Saharan Africa. Check the full publication here 👉 link.springer.com/article/10.1... Congratulations to all the people and teams involved! 👏

Today in the lab we had an early Caga Tió surprise 🎁 Before heading off for the Christmas holidays, we celebrated together with a small get-together and shared some delicious panettone. From the Malaria Immunology Lab we wish everyone a restful break and happy holidays! 🎄

This week we are sharing a video where our group leaders, Carlota Dobaño and @moncunill.bsky.social, explain our research on immune responses, vaccines and longterm impact of infections. It was filmed in our new lab space at the Barcelona Science Park, where we moved this September.

1/ This week our research group made an important discovery: scientists look fantastic in Dutch academic togas 🎓✨ Our two PIs went to Leiden to take part in not one, but two PhD thesis defenses! This experience was filled with rich scientific discussions… and a definite Hogwarts-like atmosphere.

1/ Every other Thursday, we host our Malaria Immunology Lab meeting, where one or two group members share updates on their projects. Today, Elisa Fuentes Raventós and Alfons Jiménez Morera presented the latest advances in two research lines.

I encourage you to read this article👇 it offers a great recap of the key discussions and findings from the 3rd Long COVID Conference we attended last week. Thanks to @thesicktimes.org #LongCOVID #LongCOVIDIntl thesicktimes.org/2025/11/25/i...

1/ Last week, @moncunill.bsky.social and Rebeca Santano attended the #LongCOVIDIntl in Boston, where they presented our work on antibody signatures and T-cell phenotypic differences between long COVID and recovered individuals, a work carried out in collaboration with IDIAPJGol.

1/ This week, part of our team attended the CIBER-BBN-INFEC Annual Meeting in Sevilla.

This week our PhD student Silvia Ruiz Rius led our Journal Club session with an excellent presentation on recent findings about Tfh cells and their associations with antibody responses in malaria. 💬 What papers or topics have sparked interesting conversations in your journal clubs lately?

👋 Hi Bluesky! We are the Malaria Immunology Lab at @isglobal.org Our research focuses on understanding immune responses not only to malaria but also to COVID19, long COVID, helminth infections and other infectious diseases 🦟💉🦠🪱 Follow us for updates on our projects, publications and lab life!
