#Research A study led by @upf.edu in collaboration with @researchmar.bsky.social on immune cells in the tumour microenvironment describes the relationship between the proximity of lymphocytes to the blood supply and their functional capacity. 1/ www.upf.edu/web/focus/w/...

Val més a prop que lluny? Una pregunta clau en el microambient tumoralUn estudi liderat per la UPF sobre les cèl·lules immunitàries en el microambient tumoral descriu la relació entre la proximitat dels limfòcits al reg sanguini i la seva capacitat funcional.www.upf.edu

#Research 🧬 The evolutionary cost of fertility explains why disease-related genetic variants persist. ⌛ Natural selection has favoured genetic variants that increase fertility, even though they also increase the risk of disease and reduce longevity. www.upf.edu/web/focus/w/...

El cost evolutiu de la fertilitat explica per què persisteixen variants genètiques associades a malaltiesUn estudi publicat a Nature Ecology & Evolution mostra que la selecció natural ha afavorit variants genètiques que augmenten la fertilitat, tot i que també incrementin el risc de patir malalties i red...www.upf.edu

#Symposium The 2026 MELIS Biomedical Research Symposium is a wrap! Thank you to all who have made it possible! 🎉 ℹ️ tuit.cat/lUahd @prbb.org @upf.edu

The MELIS holds its fifteenth biomedical research symposiumUn any més, el simposi ha aglutinat investigadors que treballen en un ampli ventall de projectes de recerca a la frontera del coneixement biomèdic.tuit.cat

We are so ready! Remember, this afternoon and tomorrow morning we will be at the @prbb.org Auditorium. Come and enjoy bioscience!

Just one week to go! Hope to see you there! 💫 Register now if you haven't already: tuit.cat/dT2kl

#Awards 🏅 Big congratulations to professor Jordi Garcia-Ojalvo who has recieved the Manuel Rico-Bruker España Prize for his outstanding career in Biophysics by the Spanish Biophysical Society. @upf.edu @sdrecercaupf.bsky.social ℹ️ tuit.cat/uqdSi

#Seminar 📋 Publish your results in Nature Communications 🗣️ Dr Andrés Cano and Dr Paraskevi Mallini, both editors of the journal. 📆 8 June - ⏰ 15:00 in the Maria Skłodowska-Curie room - Parc de Recerca Biomèdica de Barcelona Contact Ana Janic if you'd like to arrange a meeting with the editors

L'enhorabona, companys, @politiquesupf.bsky.social ! 🙌🏻

Felicitats! 🎉

The Pharmacoinformatics lab, led by @mpastor.bsky.social, has co-developed #FAIRlite: a refined set of #FAIRprinciples to streamline #computationaltoxicology. Designed for clarity, FAIR lite ensures both model developers and end users can apply FAIR standards without ambiguity.

#Symposium We are keen to share with you our Biomedical Research Symposium. An event to bring together researchers working on a wide range of topics in biomedicine & to showcase the projects of our excellent young researchers. June 4-5 at the @prbb.org Auditorium 👉 registration - tuit.cat/dT2kl
