The IRISCAT starts a series of webinars focussed on COVID-19 research

The Catalan Alliance for Insitutes for Research and Innovation in Health (IRISCAT) has launched its first science communications activity in a series of webinars to share different topics of biomedical research into COVID-19. These on-line research seminars will take place every 2 weeks, the first will be given by Dr Manel Puig of the Germans Trias i Pujol Research Insitute on 27 May at 16.00.

Not only does this adapt to the new reality imposed by the coronavirus, but it is designed to allow access for the maximum number of interested researchers. The seminars will also be recorded so they will be available online.

This first series will consist of 6 seminars that will alternate clinical and basic research on COVID-19 during the coming weeks. The second series, after the summer, will be programmed soon.

The first seminar will be
