The TRFC Lab participated in the annual Carnival IIBB-CSIC competition and came second. The competition this year was fierce, and each group’s outfits were really great. Congratulations to the 1st place winners!

María Fernández Fernández received the award after revision and evaluation by the scientific committee of all the abstracts presented within the basic research section. The annual congress of the SCD is not only a meeting for clinical experts and basic researchers, but also brings together the most cutting-edge research in digestology in Catalonia.

Dr Anna Moles from IIBB-CSIC and Dr Maria Rosa Sarrias from IGTP organised and hosted the Basic Course titled the “Advanced Cell Cultures Applied to the Study of Liver and Digestive Diseases” at the XXXIII Congress of the Catalan Society of Digestology.

The TRFC Lab has have three communications selected for presentations at the XXXIII Congress of the Catalan Society of Digestology with several abstract presentations. Paloma, María and Júlia will present the latest results from their research.

Paloma is awarded with a prestigious EMBO Scientific Exchange Grant to perform a three-month stage at Dr Denby’s group at the University of Edinburgh. During her stage Paloma will perform cutting-edge research investigating the role of myeloid cell subpopulations in the progression and reversion of fibrotic disease.

We are really happy to announce Alejandro has joined the lab as JAE Intro fellow. These competitive fellowships are aimed at university students interested in starting a research career. This scholarship programme provides an approach to a research career to those students who want to take their first steps in research.

During their stay at the IIBB they were able to visit six research groups, including the TRFC Lab where they were welcome by Paloma, María and Júlia who explained them about the different lines of research, techniques used by our groups and discussed with them career opportunities within the field of biomedicine.

Júlia did an excellent defence of her MRes dissertation title “CtsD cell-specific role during hepatic regeneration after partial hepatectomy”. Congratulation Júlia! We are super proud of you!

This week Paloma and Maria attended to the 2023 EASL Congress, which the largest European conference attracting healthcare practitioners, academic researchers and industry participants with interest in all aspects of liver disease.

Paloma, Maria and Julia attend to the PhD Day at IDIBAPS. The event is organized by the PhD community at IDIBAPS. During the day Paloma had the opportunity to share her research with her peers with a poster presentation and we were able to listen to inspiring workshops delivered by experts from academia, communication and industry.
