The team had a great time yesterday at the @bist.eu Forum 2026, held in the beautiful setting of the CosmoCaixa science museum 🧬💡

Bajo la marca BIST, el CRG y seis otros centros suman 2.700 investigadores, nos situamous en el 1% de la producción científica europea y acumulamos 270 patentes y 56 'spin-offs'. EL PERIÓDICO conversa con el director motivo del encuentro anual BIST Forum, que se celebra hoy en CosmoCaixa.
Next Monday, we mark International Women’s Day with a special seminar by Marie-Emilie Terret. Her research explores the mechanics of cell division during oocyte development, bridging cell biology and physics for a better understanding of female fertility. Open to all! www.crg.eu/en/event/oth...
Un trabajo del CiMUS y el CRG, publicado este jueves en Science, muestra que parte de la reorganización del genoma en las células tumorales la hacen unos “parásitos” que se copiapegan a sí mismos en el genoma, y promueven cambios que pueden contribuir a que aparezca el cáncer.
Què passa si podem predir l’agressivitat d’un tumor a partir d’una biòpsia? Voldríem saber si tenim risc de desenvolupar càncer o metàstasis? Participa en un diàleg amb els nostres experts!

Four years ago, a group of scientists at our institute set out with an ambitious idea to redesign biology to create more effective, targeted therapies. That idea became Orikine Bio. @elperiodico.com features the company in an interview as it enters a new phase of growth.
El director del Centre de Regulació Genòmica, Luis Serrano, ha estat distingit amb el Premi Nacional de Recerca 2025, la màxima distinció científica que atorga Catalunya. Felicitats! www.crg.eu/en/news/luis...

Fa 25 anys, el Projecte Genoma Humà sortia als informatius… i avui TV3 ens recorda aquell moment amb una joia d’arxiu: la entrevista a en Roderic i en Pep quan es va publicar a Nature i Science.
🧬 A single mutated cell can change everything. Biology isn’t driven by averages, it’s driven by individual cells. That's why
Innovations in Single Cell Omics (ISCO 2026) is back in Barcelona.

Exactly 25 years ago, @rodericguigo.bsky.social and his PhD student published the first draft of the human genome in Science. The Catalan researchers were the only two from all Spain that took part. Here they are reflecting on the huge scientific feat: www.crg.eu/en/news/25-y...

Congratulations to @arnausebe.bsky.social, Premi Ciutat de Barcelona 2025 in the category of Life Sciences and Medicine. The award ceremony will take place today at the historic Saló de Cent and was presided over by the Mayor of Barcelona. Full story: www.crg.eu/en/news/arna...
Last days to apply this position in our group! Do join us in this great Institute @crg.eu, with great colleagues, and help shaping the science and culture of our lab!
This week is the International Day of Women and Girls in Science (11F) and we’re marking it with an open talk for anyone who’d like to join. Our guest is Sabrya Carim, who will share about her journey as a woman of colour navigating research, self-doubt, and the subtle pressures of belonging.
Happy 25th birthday to @icreacommunity.bsky.social, which has had a huge impact on making Catalonia a scientific powerhouse in the 21st century. This piece reminds us that investing in people is a powerful policy. Talent attracts talent, and entire research ecosystems grow around it.
Orikine Bio, nacida en 2022 como spin-off del CRG, avanza en el desarrollo preclínico de sus fármacos para enfermedades autoinmunes y capta nuevos fondos de la entidad pública dependiente del Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación
Some of the most transformative companies began as a research insight that refused to stay inside a lab. That is why we created the CRG BioBusiness School, for life-science researchers who want to translate scientific results into tangible value. Apply by 1 March: www.crg.eu/en/event/crg...
🧬 En 2024 Google se llevó un Nobel por AlphaFold, una IA para predecir proteínas. Ahora publica AlphaGenome, para leer el genoma. ¿Es esta IA tan rompedora?

@crg.eu, Beatriz López de @univgirona.bsky.social y Dido Carrero de @cniostopcancer.bsky.social
Mafalda Dias, investigadora CRG, cree que el modelo es “un paso adelante" muy importante, pero: “son buenos para comprender qué pasa con la biología regulatoria, pero no son útiles para predecir si una variante entre personas distintas va a tener un impacto; tienen una utilidad clínica limitada."
We have opened several exciting new positions across our research and administration. If you’re looking to grow your career and enjoy life by the Mediterranean, apply now: recruitment.crg.eu/content/jobs...
Here's the official ranking:
Investment in biotech saw a 60% boost last year, according to a joint analysis by Expansión and Biocat. Two CRG startups (Orikine and Seqera) are amongst the top twenty leading funding rounds last year. They are testimony of how publicly funded science can turn into real-world innovation.
We are deeply saddened by the passing of Peer Bork, who was a member of the CRG’s Scientific Advisory Board between Jan 2010 and Dec 2017. He played a key role in helping shape the institute’s scientific strategy. Our thoughts are with his family, friends and colleagues at @embl.org
Conocer la variabilidad genética de todo el mundo acaba beneficiando a todo el mundo. Lo cuenta Michele Catanzaro en El Periódico después de que un estudio coliderado por @rodericguigo.bsky.social descubrió y cuantificó las lagunas en los mapas genéticos.
Una buena noticia para empezar el año 😊 El trabajo liderado por @larsplus.bsky.social, investigador del CRG, ha sido reconocido por la Asociación Española contra el Cáncer como uno de los avances de investigación más destacados de 2025.
What tools do we need to start engineering #aging and #longevity ? A🧵about something we've been cooking up in lab with Jeremy Vicencio at the @crg.eu : technology that lets us reach inside living animals and precisely dial multiple proteins' levels up and down. 1/10
Hem estat seleccionats com a entitat beneficiària dels Projectes Singulars del Departament de Recerca i Universitats. Gràcies a aquest suport, desenvoluparem una infraestructura integral de microscòpia orientada a l’estudi avançat de mostres biològiques. #FEDERrecerca #FonsUEcat
