Paper alert! A summer read providing an overview of molecular biomarker approaches used to predict sepsis course/prognosis, covering genetic, transcriptomic, proteomic, and multi-omic strategies. Check it out! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Last week, I had the pleasure of presenting our latest research at the #IIPCJCIBER. We explored candidate proteomic biomarkers of post-COVID ILD and their potential genetic overlap with IPF, providing new insights into the long-term consequences of severe COVID-19. @ciberisciii.bsky.social

Preprint alert! A new study from @labcflores.bsky.social just posted. Current guidelines support genetic testing benefits for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis #IPF patients. www.medrxiv.org/content/10.6...

Polygenic risk scores enhance the identification of carriers of monogenic forms of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis

Background Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a rare disease with a poor prognosis. Disease risk involves rare and common genetic variants. However, an inverse association have been described betw...

Host genetic variation influence responses to infections. Sepsis is a severe response to infection and these patients can develop acute respiratory distress syndrome #ARDS

Yesterday was another great day for @labcflores.bsky.social There’s a new Doctor in town. Very proud of #EvaSuarez-Pajes for such a mature defense that incorporated a tremendous amount of work. Keep up the good work!

I am pleased to share that our preliminary findings, presented at the Jornadas de Personal Investigador Joven CIBERES-CIBERBBN, have now been published in Open Respiratory Archives. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Respiratory syncytial virus #RSV is the leading cause of acute lower respiratory tract infections in children <2 years. It can also severely affect adults. Since the introduction of a prophylactic mAbs treatment in Spain, resistant #RSV lineages have been reported.

Acute respiratory distress syndrome #ARDS is a critical condition characterized by respiratory failure, an acute inflammatory response, and the development of non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema. Sepsis is one of the leading causes of #ARDS and has a high mortality ICUs.

Today was another great day for @labcflores.bsky.social. We have a new Doctor in town. Kudos @evatosco.bsky.social for such a fantastic defense of your PhD. Hope you enjoyed the day despite the nerves of these past months. Glad to share some of the best moments of the day.

We are delighted to announce that one @labcflores.bsky.social study led by @aitanaag90.bsky.social has received the Award "II Premios Canarias a la Ciencia de la Salud e Investigación Biomédica" for the best scientific publication of the year. Link to the paper: www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

Delighted to share that our manuscript entitled “A tiered strategy to identify relevant genetic variants in familial pulmonary fibrosis: a proof of concept for the clinical practice” is now published in the @ejhg-journal.bsky.social November issue

Last week, I had the pleasure of attending the Jornadas de Personal Investigador Joven CIBERES–CIBERBBN 2025, an inspiring meeting that brought together young researchers from across Spain to exchange ideas, projects, and challenges in biomedical research.

It's been an intense week for us with several of our study results being presented at different research gatherings

A few weeks ago I attended the 9th Variant Effect Prediction Training Course (VEPTC 2025) in Porto. Four intense days of learning and collaboration in the ever-evolving field of variant interpretation.

Happy to share our results and an update of the genetic studies in #ILD in this meeting. @labcflores.bsky.social

By now, it would not surprise anyone to understand that there are host genetic variants governing severe infection outcomes.
