So great to have Laura back!!! Great excuse to enjoy a good lunch with the lab!
Last Friday, we stepped away from the lab for our traditional cal莽otada鈥攁nd it couldn鈥檛 have been better! It was a great chance to unwind, enjoy some amazing food, and spend quality time together beyond the pipettes and tubes. Looking forward to the next one!

1) The @QuintanaLab focuses on mitochondrial diseases, which are caused by defects in mitochondria, the energy-producing structures within cells. These disorders can affect multiple organs, leading to severe neurological and muscular problems.
Today is the #RareDiseaseDay At the Institute, different research groups are dedicated to understanding and treating rare diseases.

In our lab, 3 out of 4 independent lines are led by talented women. Promoting and supporting women in supervising theses, coordinating research, and applying for grants boosts the visibility and impact of early-career women in science. Every step counts! #11F #WomenInScienceDay
Yesterday was Aphrodite's last day at Quintanalab馃挃 She has been 4 months around, working with Marta Luna, investigating how COX15 deficiency impacts brain function. We will miss her!

On Jan 9-10 Seville hosted the 1st @MitoNed Workshop at @ibis_sevilla Eli presented her work on Kiss1 neurons in male reproductive health, and @IreneFernandezz introduced lactylation as a post-translational modification in a mouse model of Leigh Syndrome 馃憠quintanalab.org/blog
