Scientific research is often a long and challenging journey, but perseverance eventually pays off. This is a great example of the work Irene González carried out during her PhD at IrsiCaixa, contributing to the LoViReT study as part of the international RID-HIV project.

Behind every professional journey, there are often deeper motivations that remain hidden, and only rarely does someone take the time to discover them. That is exactly what David Vilaseca does in “Their Mountains”, the new book presented today at the Vic Mountain Fair.

🔬 How can we be better prepared for the next pandemic?

🔸 Last Friday, Oct 2, the European #PCR4ALL consortium met at KU Leuven to share progress and discuss the next steps toward making large-scale PCR testing a realistic pandemic-response tool.

Delighted to share that Emma Beaumont has just successfully defended her doctoral thesis, “ADAPTIVE NK CELLS AND THE HLA-E AXIS IN HIV INFECTION AND LONG-COVID,” at the Institut Pasteur and Université Paris Cité!
