Most scientific discourae has moved elsewhere, I am rarely in this platgorm, if you are still here and plan to move my other acciunt is in bsky.app/profile/jorge-…
*last day* to register and submit your work in topics relevant to liver and islets in metabolic disease, including… - organoid models, regeneration, and synthetic biology - disease mechanisms and therapies - genome regulation - ….others
EMBO Workshop on Liver and pancreas in metabolic disease: from pathways to therapies A unique forum that unites scientists at the forefront of liver and pancreatic endocrine biology and disease, hosted in an exceptional venue.😍 🔗meetings.embo.org/event/25-liver…
You can still register to the EMBO Workshop Liver and pancreas in metabolic disease: from pathways to therapies Sant Feliu de Guíxols (Girona), Spain, 2 – 4 April 2025. Great science in a beautiful place. meetings.embo.org/event/25-liver…
Compartim la tristesa per la pèrdua del Dr. Joan Guinovart, un referent humà i científic per a molts. El seu llegat perdurarà i la seva absència deixa un buit immens. Des del CRG enviem tot el nostre suport a la família i a l'@IRBBarcelona
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…
Una gran pérdida.
Desde la @SEBBM_es lamentamos comunicar el fallecimiento de Joan Guinovart, acontecido esta pasada madrugada. Joan fue presidente, era socio de honor y ha sido una figura clave para nuestra sociedad, además de referente de la bioquímica tanto a nivel nacional como internacional.
Highly reecommended! Good factory for successful careers :)

Excited to announce that I will start my group at @CRGenomica in Barcelona next April! We will decode and engineer cell fates using stem cell models, perturbation screening and single-cell multiomics. Looking forward to the new chapter ahead!
The scientific discussion in X is fading away very quickly If you haven’t already left I look forward to interacting here: bsky.app/profile/jorge-…
Genetic architecture of 8 β-cell function traits from 26,000 individuals🧬 Nice integration efforts with epigenomic and transcriptomic data from human pancreatic islets. 📊Summ stats available throuhg the @T2DKP portal: t2d.hugeamp.org/downloads.html 📰Paper: nature.com/articles/s4225…
Amazing tour de force to integrate genetics with epigenomics from Silvia Bonas-Guarch and Anne Madsen. Many interesting insights for human islet biology and T2D. Congratulations to all
Thrilled to share our joint work with Anne L. Madsen from Torben Hansen's lab (@Metabolcenter) and @1jorgeferrer lab. We explored the genetics of the β-cell function to unlock insights into T2D. Out today in @NatMetabolism ! Here’s what we found 🧵: rdcu.be/dXhoh
Xciting news + Jobs alert! 🚨 After wonderful years at @CRGenomica, we are relocating beginning 2025 to @ChuSteJustine at @UMontreal. If you want to be part of @payerlab 2.0, come and join us! We are hiring at all levels – see job ads in the thread 🧵below. 👇 1/5

Can you elaborate on why you are certain she is not an XY female?
And as an endocrinologist (who has been President of the Society for Endocrinology ) I can confirm that both JK Rowling and John Pike are completely scientifically correct on this matter
