Yesterday in Valencia Dr. @nlbigas.bsky.social received the 2025 Premio Rei Jaume I in Biomedical Research. Her work on how cancer mutations arise and evolve has earned major recognition!
Congratulations, Núria! 🙌

Our team at #EMBLCanGen in Heidelberg!
Raquel Blanco gave a brilliant talk, and we had great poster presentations from Elisabet Figuerola, Olivia Dove, Ferran Muiños, Rocio Chamorro, and Axel Rosendahl. 👏
Thanks to @events.embl.org for organizing such a high-quality event in Cancer Genomics!

Congrats Drs. Batlle, Supek, Zorzano, Orozco, López Bigas, A. González, Wculek, Nebreda, Salvatella, Palacín & Gabaldon, all among the world’s most cited in the World’s Top 2% Scientists in Stanford University–Elsevier list!. Drs. C. González & Aloy among the most cited scientists in their careers!🙌

👏👏👏👏👏

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!

🧪 The #IRBBarcelona #PhD Call is now open! We are offering PhD #fellowships to talented young scientists from around the world who wish to pursue a doctoral degree in #biomedicine!

🗣️ 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.
