"I felt like IRB Barcelona was really making an effort, to take care of PhD students and make sure they have a good experience. (...) The Institute had a very good atmosphere, and also especially my current lab. Barcelona is a nice city, and I had a good fellowship, so there wasn't really any reason for me not to come here."

"The research community at IRB Barcelona fosters such a collaborative environment, not only intra-institution but also inter-institution with the various individual institutes in the PCB, BIST, and Barcelona. This close collaboration not only makes it easier to reach out to experts across the field and do interdisciplinary science but also includes various learning experiences that could be helpful during my academic career."

«We suspected that CPEB1, a protein involved in regulating mRNA translation in the cytoplasm, might also be active in the nucleus and play a role in controlling pre-mRNA processing. We discovered that it affects the alternative generation in the mature mRNA of the 3'-UTR, regions where most of the elements regulating translation in time and space are located.»

«Our study highlights the complexity of p38 functions, both in cancer and in the maintenance of normal tissues. It shows why an inhibitor of this molecule could effectively have undesirable side effects. But these do not exclude it from being a target against cancer.»
