As we close this meaningful day, we carry forward the values Ernest Arenas stood for: curiosity, rigor, and generosity in science. Thank you all for being part of this special tribute. @vhir.bsky.social @idibell.bsky.social @irblleida.bsky.social

🧠 Final scientific session at the tribute to Ernest Arenas! Josep M. Canals @ub.edu presents: "Developing complex human models to understand neurodegenerative diseases." An inspiring journey through collaborative science.

We continue celebrating Ernest Arenas’ legacy with Anders Björklund @lunduniversity-med.bsky.social whose path crossed Ernest’s in the early days of cell therapy for Parkinson’s. A journey from shared roots to today’s breakthroughs 🧠

Emilia Sif Asgrimsdottir @ki.se a recent PhD Student mentored by Ernest, shared with us the latest work of their group Unraveling the roles of endogenous radial glia subtypes in midbrain dopaminergic neuron development

Next, Elena Cattaneo (University of Milano) shared with us an unpublished story and gave a moving presentation on stem cells, genomics, and the relentless pursuit of treatments for Huntington’s Disease—reflecting Ernest’s dedication to advancing science for real-world impact

Coffee in hand, the room grew quiet as Isabel Fariñas @uv.es ‬ shared when she first met Ernest — and how their paths crossed in the pursuit of neuroprotection and neurorestoration. A story of hope, healing, and the promise of regenerative medicine. 🌱

Patrik Ernfors @ki.se opened the day with a beautiful reflection on the discovery of neurotrophins — a cornerstone of modern neuroscience. 🔬 His talk brought to life the foundational work he shared with Ernest.

The opening ceremony has began with powerful words from leaders across Catalonia’s top research institutions, where Ernest left a lasting mark. Each voice painted a portrait of Ernest: a visionary, a mentor, and above all, a builder of scientific community.

Today we gather to honor Professor Ernest Arenas — a pioneering neuroscientist and a transformative figure in Catalonia’s biomedical research landscape. @vhir.bsky.social @idibell.bsky.social @irblleida.bsky.social
