@EMBLBarcelona
At EMBL Barcelona, we study how tissues and organs develop and function in health and disease. We are part of the European Molecular Biology Laboratory @EMBL.
Meet Marta Cherubini 🇮🇹 Senior Researcher in @LabHaase at EMBL Barcelona. 🧫 She’s developing a 3D in vitro model of the human placental barrier to study maternal-fetal communication. At home, she uses the scientific method to crafting and repairing 🤝 embl.org/news/people-pe…

EMBL researchers and their collaborators have provided exciting new insights into human genetic variation by building upon the 1000 Genomes Project dataset. The two studies constitute what may be the most complete overview of the human genome to date. embl.org/news/science/b…

Congratulations Montse for the poster prize! #ELMI2025
What an amazing conference #ELMI2025 @EMBLEvents! An exciting meeting concluded with a poster prize for @montserrat_coll @EMBLBarcelona on 'Deep inside a gorgonian coral', work in collaboration with Teresa Madurell @ICMCSIC See you next year! #LightSheet #TissueClearing
Don't miss the last Science by the Beach Seminar before the summer break! 📅Tuesday 10th June at 12 CEST 🗣️Yadira Soto-Feliciano from @MIT 📍 @the_prbb Read the abstract: embl.org/seminars/scien… #tissuebiology

🐭In this picture, we can see a slice through 3D acquisition of a near newborn mouse. Sample provided by @HeuraCardonaBla (@EMBLBarcelona) and labelling, clearing and imaging done by Montserrat Coll Lladó (MIF). 🤗Thanks for sharing this beautiful image! ellipse.prbb.org/a-see-through-…
Con el apoyo de @contracancerEs, la Dra. Talya Dayton del @embl estudia cómo ciertos factores llevan al desarrollo del cáncer para mejorar la prevención, tratamiento y detección temprana del cáncer neuroendocrino de pulmón. #InvestigandoenCáncer contraelcancer.es/es/investigaci…
This week we got fit at EMBL Barcelona! It was a week with physical and mental well-being activities: pilates, funky dance, yoga, beach volley and 5km run! 🧘♀️🏐🏃➡️Across all EMBL sites, we took a step contest and mental health challenges. How are you moving this spring?

Don’t miss the chance to connect with Harry McNamara (@Yale) today at EMBL Barcelona! 🧫”Decoding and controlling developmental self-organisation” 📍@the_prbb Marie Curie room; Join and discover new approaches to investigate the origins of patterning in the gastruloid mode.

The Science by the beach seminar series is back at @the_prbb! 🌊🔬 Next Tuesday, May 13, @LabTrivedi will host Harry McNamara, from @Yale, who’ll give a talk on decoding & controlling developmental self-organisation. Don’t miss it!

🌹📚 Sant Jordi at EMBL Barcelona: books, dragons, and sweet surprises! We couldn’t miss Catalunya's most beloved tradition. From the lab to legends, we discussed something as powerful as science - books! It was a day filled with storytelling, and culture. ❤️ Happy Sant Jordi!




In need of a good read? 📚🌟 To celebrate the magic of Sant Jordi, our EMBL Barcelona staff are sharing some of their favourite books. 👉 Want to join the celebration? Share your favourite book in the comments. Happy Sant Jordi! ❤️📚




🧬An exciting event on the interface of biology and nanotechnology! 🔬Check out the #SustainableResearch: Fit for the Future event hosted by @IBECBarcelona, featuring researchers from top institutes, including two from @ICN2nano. More info 👉 events.ibecbarcelona.eu/emblsatellitee…
New publication in @CellStemCell from @viktri08 at EMBL Barcelona and Jesse Veenvliet at the @mpicbg! 👏 The researchers brought metabolism to spotlight for studying the early stages of development - a new tool to study early cell decisions and embryo development.
Metabolism shapes life @EMBLBarcelona & @mpicbg researchers reveal how glycolysis drives early embryonic cell decisions. The studies, published in @CellStemCell, uncover the instructive potential of glycolysis. embl.org/news/science/m… @KStapornwongkul @viktri08
A special congratulations to EMBL Barcelona graduates: @Livia_Piatti, Carmen Moccia, @RoryKMLong, Akinola Akinbote, @ShutingXu5, @jllim94, @JorgeLazaroF and Maria Costanzo. We're happy to celebrate your achievements in tissue biology and disease modelling, muchas felicidades!💚
Congratulations to EMBL’s latest graduates!! 🎓 Last week, we proudly celebrated the achievements of the 2024 and 2025 EMBL graduates. From groundbreaking discoveries to lifelong friendships, their journey saw them push the boundaries of knowledge! 🥂
