Once again, IBUB is hosting the IBUB Research Day, an annual event that brings together the Institute’s researchers to share knowledge, welcome new members and foster networking across our research community. The event provides an opportunity to exchange ideas, build new connections and explore opportunities for collaboration and synergies among IBUB research groups. This year’s
The Medicinal Chemistry and Pharmacology (MCP) Research Group at the University of Barcelona is recruiting a predoctoral researcher to join a multidisciplinary PhD project focused on developing novel ligands targeting Alzheimer’s disease. The position is funded through the project “Decoding and Modulation of Imidazoline I2 Receptors: Modulatory Ligands for Alzheimer’s Disease (PID2025-171044OB-I00)”, within the Spanish

Primary biliary cholangitis is a rare autoimmune disease that affects the liver and can progress to cirrhosis. It occurs when the immune system attacks the small bile ducts within the liver. As a result, bile builds up, leading to inflammation and progressive liver damage. Although a first-line treatment exists, 40% of patients do not respond
A study by the University of Barcelona has identified nearly 20 genes that could contribute to some people being more susceptible to depression, anxiety and traits such as irritability and neuroticism. These genes are regulated by the RBFOX1 gene, which acts as the central hub of a genetic network linked to several key processes in
In children and adolescents who have experienced child abuse, the body appears to remain in a state of alert for too long, and this situation can affect several bodily systems, such as the neuroendocrine, immune and metabolic systems. When this alert response is prolonged, it leads to cumulative wear and tear on all the biological
A research article published in Nature, one of the world’s leading scientific journals, has revealed new mechanisms by which cells preserve genome stability under replication stress. The study, entitled “Replication-stress-induced chromatin loops protect fork stability”, has been led by researchers from the Erasmus MC Cancer Institute and Oncode Institute (Rotterdam, the Netherlands), with the participation
A new research project aims to develop an innovative method to measure heat production in living organisms, opening new possibilities for studying energy metabolism at the molecular level. The project is led by Prof. Fèlix Ritort from the Institut de Nanociència i Nanotecnologia de la Universitat de Barcelona (IN2UB), and focuses on the physical principles underlying
Enguany es torna a organitzar la ja 16a Summer School on Medicines, que tindrà lloc del 4 al 10 de juliol, a Toulouse, França.
