Our group just finished two exciting and productive days during our annual retreat. We looked back and forward, we assessed, discussed and planned. We also enjoyed our time together.

Ahead of #eseb2025 we had a nice reunion of some ex- and current members of the group! Nice to see you all!

Our group is well represented at the #BCNmicrobiome meeting happening these days at #cosmocaixa . Come and see our posters!

📣 Check our new #paper describing Q-PHAST #protocol a new fast, affordable, and accurate platform for large-scale phenotyping and susceptibility testing using spot tests.... this really revolutionized the scale of phenotyping in our lab

The project, coordinated by #CLÍNIC-#IDIBAPS and
@ciccancer.bsky.social involves over 25 groups from clinical and basic-translational research institutions, including the @irbbarcelona.org

The project #ASPIRE-AECC kicked off with a meeting in Madrid. The objective of this project, which includes a clinical trial, is to improve survival in #liver #cancer

We proudly contribute by investigating the tumor associated #microbiome and its potential roles

Very interactive and interesting first poster session at #ecfg17 yesterday. Thank you to all that came to see our posters and chat!

We had 2 talks by the group at #ecfg17 by Miki Schikora and @tonigabaldon.bsky.social . More in the poster session with posters P1.302 and P1.319 come and see!

In the context of the Australia-Spain Network for Innovation and Research Excellence (#AuSpire), we have an open #postdoctoral position i to work on ongoing comparative genomics / phylogenomics projects
