The founder of IBioBA received the prize, awarded by the Organization of Ibero-American States for Education, Science and Culture (OEI), the Argentine Association for the Advancement of Science and the Interciencia Association, in the category “Career in Exact, Natural, Biomedical and Technological Sciences”. In a ceremony held last Thursday 21st in the auditorium of the…
Another IBioBA contribution to scientific knowledge: The Neural Circuits group has just published a research paper in the journal PNAS describing the functioning of neurons involved in memory and olfaction. Have you ever wondered how the brain interprets a smell? It is not only a matter of “smelling” a scent, but also of understanding the…
On Saturday, November 10, IBioBA participated in the initiative that takes place every year in the City of Buenos Aires, with the aim of bringing science closer to the community. On Saturday night, more than 4,000 people visited the proposals of the Instituto de Investigación en Biomedicina de Buenos Aires (IBioBA, CONICET – Max Planck…
In the framework of World Alzheimer’s Day, we share the work carried out by IBioBA to understand the disease, providing knowledge to understand the functioning of the brain and the development of therapeutic strategies. A sample of the importance of promoting scientific research to solve health problems affecting the population. It is very likely that…
This afternoon, we received the visit of 6th year students of the International Baccalaureate (IB) of the Pestalozzi School, with which we have a collaboration agreement since 2012. Today we were visited by 15 students who are in their last year of high school at the Pestalozzi School with the aim of getting to know…
The research group led by Dr. Eduardo Arzt published a paper in the journal Aging Cell in which they described a molecular mechanism that facilitates the persistence of tumor cells through a new pathway of cellular senescence, which could explain cellular resistance to cancer therapies. Senescence is a natural mechanism that occurs in response to…
A team from IBioBA published a research paper in the journal Nature Communications in which they identified that learning modifies the way the olfactory cortex processes odours. This paper changes the paradigm in which information processing in the brain was understood. A smell that takes you back to your childhood, the perfume that reminds you…
In a study published today in the prestigious journal Science Advances, an IBioBA team was able to shed light on the role that a type of circular RNA, which is abundant in the nervous system but so far unexplored, plays in emotional behaviour. A job interview, an exam, a public lecture, or just everyday thoughts…
Medical students from the University of Buenos Aires (UBA) recently undertook a laboratory session at the Instituto de Investigación en Biomedicina de Buenos Aires (IBioBA, CONICET – Max Planck). Their visit encompassed familiarizing themselves with the Institute’s state-of-the-art facilities and engaging in a practical application of forensic genetics utilizing the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) technique. Beyond…
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…
