💚The first Algae Symposium in Barcelona is taking place at CRAG on 13-14 May. Organised by The Algae Biology and Biotechnology Group of SEBP to exchange information within the algae research and explore relevant applications

🔗Registration and info: i.mtr.cool/gztrcsifwd

🎉Felicitats als dos nous Catedràtics de la Secció de Genètica de la Facultat de Biologia UB, Marc Valls i Ricard Albalat!

👥El tribunal del concurs va estar format per Emili Saló (president),Francesc Mestres (secretari) i les vocals Josefa Badia, Salomé Prat i Carlota Poschenrieder.

11F, dia de la dona i la nena a la ciència, us recomanem amb Marta Giralt, que llegiu el volum de Treballs de la SCB dedicat a biòlogues rellevants, a més d'anàlisis sobre dimensió de gènere, lideratge i la situació de les dones en Biologia a Catalunya 👇revistes.iec.cat/index.php/TSCB…

Hot off the press: Roots stop acquiring and making iron available when their tissues are invaded. Plants do this by actively degrading a signaling peptide in specific root cells. Great example of the sophisticated ways plants respond to the environment. nature.com/articles/s4158…

We finish a 2-day #retreat where fruitful ideas and new #strategic lines have been discussed among #CRAG group leaders🌱🧬🧑‍🔬

Looking forward to the next years ahead to be able to perform excellent #research and have an #impact on #agriculture and #society 🌾🍅🌍

I’m thrilled to announce that my most recent first-author paper is finally online. nature.com/articles/s4358…
I’m excited to share this beautiful video summarizing many years of research work

Hoy nos ha visitado la presidenta del CSIC Eloísa del Pino que ha valorado el gran potencial de transferencia del CRAG y su impacto en el sector 🧬🌾

Además, se ha reunido con los investigadores CSICCat del centro. ¡Gracias por la visita! 😉

Aquest estudi obre la porta a que una proteïna d’origen vegetal🌱 es pugui utilitzar per desfer agregats🧶🧠 o per a generar nous cultius🌾🍅resistents a les condicions extremes causades per la crisi climàtica🥵🌍

📢 Descoberta una proteïna vegetal🌿capaç de desfer els agregats🧶característics de diverses patologies humanes🧠

Un equip liderat per Coll & Valls Lab #CRAG descobreix que la proteïna MC1 és capaç de desfer els agregats de proteïnes implicades en diferents malalties

After 2 years of work at @CRAGENOMICA an impotant part of my Marie Curie project is out at Molecular Plant & Plant Communications. Thanks to all who made it possible, especially my mate Victoria Pastor from Plant Immunity and Biochemistry, and María Coca for believing in me.
