SPEAKER: Dra. Silvina Ponce Dawson (Departamento de Física, Facultad de Ciencias Exactas y Naturales, UBA) TITLE: “Encoding changes in the environment in the frequency or amplitude of intermediates equips cells with qualitatively different informational capabilities”. DATE: Monday, April 22, 12 PM. VENUE: IBioBA´s seminar room. Godoy Cruz 2390, C1425FQD, Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Three secondary school students won first place in the regional stage of Jugend Forscht (Youth Researches), the renowned European science competition, with a project on the effects of flavourings in e-cigarettes. In October 2023, Sofía Capello, Zoe Augspach and Milagros Ruiz Lodwig began to shape their project in the laboratories of the Buenos Aires Institute…

VENUE: IBioBA´s seminar room. Godoy Cruz 2390, C1425FQD, Buenos Aires, Argentina.
SPEAKER: Dr. Sebastian Kadener (Brandeis University, USA) TITLE: “Beyond the clock neurons: Control and transmission of oscillatory gene expression across the brain” DATE: Monday, March 11, 12 PM. VENUE: IBioBA´s seminar room. Godoy Cruz 2390, C1425FQD, Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Molecular biology work carried out by the Molecular Neurobiology lab led by Damián Refojo at IBioBA, together with Manuel de la Mata’s team at the Institute of Physiology, Molecular Biology and Neurosciences (IFIBYNE), has revealed key information about the control that circular RNAs exert on gene expression. Studying these novel intracellular structures may be useful…
As part of World Cancer Day, which is celebrated every 4 February, we tell you about the work being carried out by research groups at the Buenos Aires Institute for Research in Biomedicine (IBioBA, CONICET-Max Planck) to provide knowledge about its mechanisms and potential drug or treatment developments. Who does not feel fear when hearing…
SPEAKER: Dr. Peter Mombaerts (Director, Max Planck Research Unit for Neurogenetics, Frankfurt, Germany) TITLE: “Visualizing how SARS-CoV-2 attacks the olfactory system in COVID-19 patients” DATE: Thursday, February 15, 12 PM. VENUE: IBioBA´s seminar room. Godoy Cruz 2390, C1425FQD, Buenos Aires, Argentina.
A paper published in the journal Nature Communications, in which IBioBA’s Max Planck Guest Laboratory participated, described a molecular mechanism by which lung tissue repair is induced after damage caused by respiratory infection. The finding could lay the groundwork for the development of drugs to treat acute viral lung infections. Influenza is an acute respiratory…
