#SfN2022 is over! It's been an intense meeting for the VilaLab Núria Peñuelas Peñarroya. Thanks to those that came to our posters for discussion and for those who couldn't make it, please feel free to reach out with questions/queries at any time. See you next year 😉

Our deepest congratulations to our founder, Michael J. Fox as The Academy presents him with the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award for his tireless advocacy and boundless optimism to change the future for millions of people and families in the PD community. bit.ly/3AVu5JB

Last week our beloved and marvelous PhD student Alba Nicolau won the 1st prize of the #16JornadaCientífica of the Vall d'Hebron Institut de Recerca and presented the amazing work with her unique and enthralling way of disseminating science🤩🎩 Well done, Alba! We are so proud of you🥰🥳🔝👏💪

L' Annabelle Parent i l'Alba Nicolau del grup de recerca de Malalties Neurodegeneratives del #VHIR, els han explicat als alumnes de l’escola Heura els misteris del cervell i la malaltia de Parkinson. #DonesiCiència

After years of hard work and dedication, Dr. Compte (left) is transferring the enormous responsability of being Vilalab's CM to Gerard (right). Thank you for your invaluable service, we will miss you!

We were delighted to attend Núria Peñuelas Peñarroya's brilliant thesis presentation. An amazing scientist and even better labmate obtained yesterday her very deserved PhD. Congratulations Núria!! 🔥🥳🧑‍🔬🧪🔬

Researchers evaluate the safety & feasibility of intravenous AAV vector delivery following blood-brain barrier opening with low-intensity focus ultrasound targeting the nigrostriatal system & other brain regions relevant to #Parkinsons patients & primates science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

This Monday we had the opportunity to show our laboratories to PD patients and their families in the context of the II #Parkinson workshop. It was such a pleasure learning about their experiences while sharing our research!! 🧪🔬🧠

Diumenge vinent donem la benvinguda a la bicicletada pel World Parkinson Congress. Us hi esperem! 😊🚴🧠

Our first day at the WPC2023!🧠 Having an amazing time meeting and listening to our scientific colleagues. Alba, Camille and Joana did a fantastic job at the poster sessions 🤩

Today Marina, Núria and Gerard presented their posters🤩. With these, the Vilalab presented 6 posters at the WPC2023, three of which have been selected for the poster tour!! Congratulations to all of them✨🧠🥳

Today we closed the WPC 2026 with an amazing talk by Núria Peñuelas Peñarroya! She did a great job at explaining our neuromelanin-producing models during the Hot Topics session. Congratulations on a fantastic job, Núria!

As the WPC 2026 comes to an end, it's time to make balance. This has been an incredibly enriching experience for all the Vilalab. We enjoyed being able to share our work, learn about other groups' research and listen about the patient's experiences!🧠🌷🧬🧪🦊 #wpc2023

We are very happy to have attended the ASAP US Collaborative meeting. Alba Nicolau and Vilalab's humble CM have been able to share our work in the form of two posters and a flash talk. We have also met and learned from fellow researchers in the PD community! #CRNSanDiego2023

After extensive considerations within (part of) the Vila team, we are happy to announce we'll be launching a mini review. 🥳✨🤩. A Trivia night will be held in celebration😉! Matthias Prigge 💙

Dr A. Laguna presented, on behalf of Dr M. Vila, our laboratory's work, at the International Congress on Neurodegeneratives Diseases. Great talk!

Yesterday we attended the 1st #PhDDayVH at Vall d'Hebron. Sometimes we are so focused in our own projects that we miss the opportunity to learn about fellow PhD students working very close to us. It was great to be able to do just that. Big thank you to the organisers of the event!

Tomorrow marks the end of Julia's Erasmus stay at the Vilalab. During these months she has proven to be a great scientist, labmate, and friend. We will miss you, but we wish you the best of lucks! We are sure a brilliant future as a scientist awaits you ;)

This week, our team had the pleasure of attending the #SimposiNeurobiologia2024 and learning from truly excellent presentations. We were also able to share our research through two amazing talks by Alba and Marina, as well as with the posters presented by Joana and Gerard!🧠🔬
