At the IGTP TODAY
Several researchers from IGTP took part in this year's European Researchers' Night in Barcelona. They shared their passion for science through talks and led participants of a workshop via a board game into the midst of a tuberculosis epidemic.
Researcher Raquel Guillamat Prats discusses her research on respiratory diseases such as pulmonary fibrosis, respiratory infections, and lung cancer. She also shares her experience of establishing a research group from scratch at IGTP.
Researchers from IGTP have taken part in the 2nd Street Science Fair of ESO with a STEAM focus, Together with students from eight secondary schools and other research centres and companies, they have showed scientific concepts to fifth-grade students in Badalona through various workshops.
On Thursday 29 February, the Germans Trias Hospital hosted the 'International Rare Disease Day Symposium'. Health professionals and researchers from the Hospital and IGTP discussed their work in advancing the field of rare diseases. Representatives from patient associations of these diseases also participated.
On 7 February, "#100tífiques" returned for its sixth edition, a macro-event that has become a benchmark for advocacy within the Catalan female research community and schools. Expanding on last year's participant numbers, thirteen scientists from IGTP took part in this event.
To commemorate International Women's Day, we asked four questions to different profiles of IGTP researchers to find out about the difficulties they have encountered as women scientists and how they see the future: Dr Carolina Armengol, leader of the consolidated Childhood Liver Oncology Research Group (c-LOG), Dr Raquel Guillamat, junior leader of the emerging group Translational Research in Pulmonary Immunity, and PhD student Daina Martínez from the ICREC laboratory of Cardiology Research.
