Very sad news… Joan was director when I joined @IRBBarcelona and I owe him this great opportunity. He has led us to become not only a place for excellent science, but also a warm and welcoming environment, a rare combination. Joan will be missed, but we continue in his spirit!
Amb profunda tristesa, lamentem comunicar la mort aquesta passada matinada del Dr. Joan Guinovart, fundador, exdirector, exinvestigador i professor emèrit de l’IRB Barcelona. El Dr. Guinovart ha estat una figura clau en l’àmbit de la bioquímica, deixant una empremta inesborrable tant a nivell científic com de gestió. La seva intel.ligència, lideratge i el seu profund humanisme han estat fonamentals per a les persones que hem tingut la sort de compartir camí amb aquest home irrepetible i per al món de la recerca. Expressem el nostre més sentit condol a la seva família, amics, companys i a tota la comunitat de l'IRB Barcelona. Joan, la teva absència ens deixa un gran buit, però el teu llegat perdurarà per sempre. Et recordarem sempre, capità.

Our latest work from lab member jimmy Ly! This fundamentally changed the way we see mitosis. Massive rewiring of translational control. There is something for everyone and an amazing mechanism. Check it out.
Cells make variants of thousands of proteins. These variants are not produced indiscriminately, but rather through precise regulatory mechanisms that can meet rapidly changing needs of the cell. New work from @iaincheeseman's lab in @Nature: wi.mit.edu/news/elegant-swit… @MITBiology

Everyone should read @callimcflurry’s piece on the human cost of scientific fraud by a lab member - disillusionment, wasted time, lost trust, and reputational damage - and the challenge of recovering. Kudos to the Bloodgood lab for their openness. thetransmitter.org/science-a…

Bumblebees will pull on a string to get a reward. But do they understand why they’re doing it? elifesciences.org/articles/9…

Here is a free access link to our latest work @LudersLab with @LlorcaLab in @Dev_Cell on the activation of the #microtubule nucleator #gTuRC: kwnsfk27.r.eu-west-1.awstrac… Please also check out similar work by @MikeVVieczorek lab in the same issue! A summary is here:

Happy to share (time-limited) free access to our latest work @Dev_Cell by Fabian Zimmermann @LudersLab @IRBBarcelona and @sernarina @CNIOStopCancer @LlorcaLab: authors.elsevier.com/a/1jpyq… By reconstitution and #cryoEM we show how the #microtubule nucleator #gTuRC gets activated 🧵👇

...that #gTuRC has essential roles beyond the nucleation of #microtubules, for example as cap and stabilizer of microtubule minus ends. 9/10

And none of this would have happened without the fantastic collaboration with @LlorcaLab @OscarLlorcaCNIO!!! 10/10
