Some of us are in Angers this week for #EUROMIT2026! It's been a great opportunity to share our research, connect with colleagues, and learn about the latest advances in mitochondrial biology and disease. Special congrats to Aniol and Marta for their excellent flash talks! 👏

10/12-year-old students from the CROMA programme, organized by the Fundació Autònoma Solidària, visited our lab yesterday. We loved discussing science with them!

Some of us were at the #CajalConference2026 last week. Organized by @SENC_, it was held in Cádiz (such a beautiful city!). Beyond the science, it was a great chance to reconnect, meet new people, and exchange ideas in a relaxed setting. More on our blog: webs.uab.cat/mitochondrial-n…

Our very own Roser Bastida @bb_roser just became a Doctor today!! While she is an expert in science communication, we had to take her role with this post! So proud of her!!!

Last Friday, @albert_qr78 took part in the #STEMTalksMenorca2026, organized by the @GDGMenorca, talking about the research we do in the lab. For once, he was surrounded by engineering students instead of biomed people! And all happened in an amazing spot at the Port of Maó 😍

We celebrated the lab's calçotada today! Making the fire took us longer than doing a triple magnetic-activated cell sorting? Yes, but finally hem menjat, hem rigut, bona sort que n'hem tingut! What a teaaam 😍

👀Afectan a 1 de cada 5000 personas, y causan síntomas tan variados como fatiga, debilidad muscular, neurodegeneración… Hablamos de enfermedades mitocondriales, junto con el investigador de nuestra red Albert Quintana. Léelo en el blog:⬇️ bit.ly/4rzjbBg

The start date of the Cajal Conference 2026 in the city of Cadiz on brain energy is approaching. A mitochondrial wonder not to miss. Registration is still open senc.es/en/cajal-conference-…

1/👥Las enfermedades se llaman raras si afectan a menos de 1 entre 2000 personas. ¿Pero siguen siendo raras si pensamos que afectan a 300 millones de personas? En el #DíaMundialEnfermedadesRaras hacemos foco en 1 de los 7000 tipos que existen: las enfermedades mitocondriales. Te las explicamos:👇🧵 bit.ly/4rzjbBg

Avui és el dia de les malalties rares. Intentem que l'únic "rar" sigui que no tinguin cura. #curemito

.@Aniol_Cortes and @marcosblancor are at the Second Winter Mitochondrial School in Bressanone, in the Dolomites (we are so jealous!). Yesterday, they gave a presentation explaining their PhD projects. Great discussions and inspiring science!

From student to speaker! @albert_qr78 went back to a Salesians school (this time @SalesiansHorta), for Salesian Talent’s Day, to talk about his career path and inspire future scientists. Visiting similar hallways and classrooms made the day especially emotional!
