🧬 A highlight from the past couple of weeks: volunteering at the 2026 @irbbarcelona.org #OpenDay! We had the opportunity to engage with children, families, and visitors to showcase how #scientificresearch can make a real-world impact. 🌍

Excited to be part of the 20th anniversary celebration of the #IRBBarcelona at the #BarcelonaBiomed conference: #HorizonsOfBiomedicine. Proud to see our #PhD students presenting their work & representing our lab among such inspiring #science. 🔬🙌🎉

Here is PhD student @epareja10.bsky.social presenting her exciting work on "Enhancing Perturbation Representation Using Single Cell Foundation Models." #SBNBLab #IRBBarcelona #AIinDrugDesign #Bioinformatics

Reflecting on an inspiring couple of days! #SBNB Lab was at the #Barcelona Collaboratorium Annual Symposium (Nov 10-11), where our #PhD students showcased their research and connected with experts exploring Causality in #Biology and #AI. 🧬 Fantastic opportunity for learning and collaboration! 🙌

👏 Huge congrats to our #SBNB PhD students for presenting cutting-edge research at the #JBI2025 XV Symposium on Bioinformatics in Madrid AND taking on leadership roles at the 2nd Annual #IRBBarcelona PhD Day! We're proud of their dedication to science.👇 Details below! #research #ciència #PhDLife

#PCBCommunity |🔬 Un estudi de @irbbarcelona.org mostra que els mètodes computacionals tradicionals poden obviar dades clau sobre la interacció cel·lular.
