I am very happy to have been awarded an #MSCA postdoctoral fellowship to work with the #DELLAteam at @IBMCP on a very interesting project investigating the role of DELLA proteins in the DNA damage response 🌱🧬

I highly recommend this group, not only for their excellent science, but also for their outstanding team spirit. I’m truly grateful for this experience and look forward to future collaborations.

Although it may sound trivial, being in an environment that encourages open discussion and allows you to ask questions without fear of making mistakes makes a real difference.

Two months in Uppsala, Sweden: an incredibly enriching experience made possible by @EMBO 👏 During this research stay at SLU, I had the opportunity to work with Stefanie Rosa’s team (Lab: stefanierosa.wixsite.com/rosalab)

📢 POSTDOC OPENING! 🧬🌱 Join my lab at @ibmcp for a 2-year position developing next-gen crop vaccines! 🛡️ We are designing highly specific synthetic trans-acting siRNAs (syn-tasiRNAs) for protection against tobamoviruses. 🦠🚫 👉 More info: albertocarbonelllab.com/jobs/ Please RT 🔄🙏

@IBMCP @pilardomingoc 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Continuamos con nuestra ponente invitada @pilardomingoc que nos hablará de "Fagos como herramientas en la lucha contra bacterias multirresistentes" #JornadasIBMCP

Excellent talk by @ArielHernanT presenting our last PBJ paper at @IBMCP Christmas talks! 🎄🎤 A fantastic way to wrap up a productive 2025! 👏🧬

Thrilled to share our minimal syn-tasiRNA tools in @PlantBiotechJ! 🎉 Precision RNAi in 🍅 for gene silencing & antiviral protection. Big thanks to the great @ibmcp team 🙌 esp. @ArielHernanT & @juarez8364, and Toni Granell @presa46028. 👉 doi.org/10.1111/pbi.70…

🌱🧬New preprint: What do LLMs know about Plant Molecular Biology? Take a look at MoBiPlant, our new benchmark to measure LLMs performance built by more than 100 plant scientists from 19 countries! Amazing collaboration! 🚀 More info in this thread 👇 x.com/manuFernandezB…

📄 Arabidopsis thaliana iron superoxide dismutase FeSOD1 protects ARGONAUTE 1 in a copper-dependent manner 👥 Ariel H. Tomasi et al. 🔗 f.mtr.cool/ijogphrfzy

Un equipo del @CSIC demuestra que las plantas dejan de crecer en #sequía para proteger su ADN de mutaciones. El trabajo abre la puerta a crear #plantas más resistentes que no reduzcan su crecimiento en épocas de estrés hídrico. delegacion.comunitatvalenciana.csic.es/un-estudio-del…

Feeling incredibly proud of @Serranomislata — thank you for bringing me on board! Growth arrest is a DNA damage protection strategy in Arabidopsis @NatureComms (@MinoJHG, @AlabadiDavid, @agomezcadenas et al) nature.com/articles/s4146…

Do you want to know how AGO1 is protected by FeSOD1 in a copper-dependent manner? Check out our last paper here 👉 doi.org/10.1093/jxb/er… 🌱🧬
