How we work
We pride ourselves in providing a supporting working environment and engaging with the scientic community and wider society to maximize the impact of our research.
Public Engagement
It is vital for the progress of our research to successfully communicate it to the public. We regularly participate in several public engagement activities and deliver talks and workshops at schools.
Below you can find some selected activities that we have either organized or participated in over the last years. Some of them are also featured in our News section.

Mentoring
Our group is committed to the training and development of the younger generation of scientists and believes it is a fundamental part of our job as researchers.
We have trained several Master and Postgraduate students, which have successfully gone on doing their PhDs in Spain and abroad (Newcastle University, UK; University College of London, UK; Instituto de Neurociencias de Alicante, Spain; Industrial PhD at Novo Nordisk, Denmark) as well as PhD students who are currently actively researching in senior positions in both academia and industry.
Our team provides support to students on a one-by-one basis, assessing their development needs to reach their personal and professional goals. As part of broader training activities, our PI regularly teaches at the Master of Translational Medicine of the University of Barcelona and is part of PhD examiner’s board in Spain and abroad. In addition, she also participates in activities organized by CiberEHD and AEEH aimed at improving the knowledge of young scientists around liver diseases such as the 1st CibereHD Research School and the AEEH Reunión de Hepatología Traslacional.
Equality
Our PI is member of the Equality Committee at IIBB-CSIC, which aims to promote equality in the field of biomedical research and improve coexistence within IIBB-CSIC, guaranteeing non-discrimination based on gender, race, birth, religion, opinion, identity or sexual orientation and the principle of equal opportunities.
The Equality Committee is in charge of developing and implementing the IIBB-CSIC Equality Plan, implementing CSIC Protocol of prevention and intervention against sexual and gender-based harassment, distributing news around equality and diversity and organising specific training on the topic for the IIBB-CSIC personnel. Our committee also belongs to the Barcelona Equality Committee Network that brings together several Equality and Diversity Comissions from all the CSIC institutes in the Barcelona area.
