Art and science merged this afternoon in a wonderful concert from our fellow PhD candidate Matilda Pfeiffer toghether with the musician Clara Cantore in a performance reflecting on points of contact between music and science.
Couldn’t be more happy to be part of this phd community 💫
#CRGPhDSymp2024
A highly relevant talk from Nico Lorenzon describing novel diagnostic tools to assess treatment resistance in Mayor Depressive Disorder #CRGPhDSymp2024
Attending a fascinating talk by Khashayar Baghizadeh on data-driven computational modeling of the Dentate Gyrus in Down Syndrome. Great work integrating anatomical and physiological data to unravel underlying mechanisms.
#CRGPhDSymp2024
As the #CRGPhDSymp progresses, Leo Zuber gave an insightful talk on his research integrating spatial information with GWAS data for developing a spatially aware, tissue-specific genomic risk score, evaluated in the context of COVID-19 disease severity. 🦠🧬
Next up is Andrea Barrera! Presenting a fascinating talk which leaves us wondering, can metabolic intervention affect genome stability? #CRGPhDSymp2024
Kicking us off today is Tamara Perteghella from the Guigó lab with her talk on the latest release of #GENCODE, dramatically increasing the number of annotated lncRNAs. Well done to everyone involved in the consortium! #CRGPhDSymp2024
Sun is shining above PRBB for the second day of the 2024 PhD Symposium ☀️ I don’t think I’ll get tired anytime soon of sea’s view for my morning coffee 🤗 #CRGPhDSymp2024
Reporting from the #CRGPhDSymp2024 today and tomorrow! Kicking it off with a fascinating talk Gioia Quarantani on DMS of a 1000 exons to investigate alternative splicing
Very interesting talk from Pablo Lanuza about mechanistic understanding of splicing, titled SPF45 and 3'splice site proofreading.

Navigating the #CRGPhDSymp2024 poster session, I’m slowly becoming an expert at nodding thoughtfully while frantically trying to understand someone’s life work in 3 minutes!
Great talk from Javier Navarro Delgado on understanding, predicting and engineering variant effects in synthetic antibodies. #AntibodyDiscover #CRGPhDSymp2024
Great talk from Laia Montes Espuna at the @crg.eu PhD Symposium! Her work is focused on cell type diversity in early metazoans, aiming at broadening the understanding of cell type identity programs across the animal kingdom 🪸🧬 #CRGPhDSymp2024
Our amazing CRG PhD community are celebrating their annual symposium
today and tomorrow.
