8/ Our results confirm that P. falciparum egress from infected red blood cells is the most pathogenic step of the blood stage cycle. We found many dysregulated pathways across all BBB cell types. You can see the final summary here:

A week of celebrations in the lab...
printing of the first PhD thesis in the lab from @Livia_Piatti! Very much looking for her to rock it in her thesis defense. Stay tune for her first pre-print and @alinabatzi's soon!

[Livia Piatti @Livia_Piatti]

@marietabernabeu @alinabatzi Thanks Maria ☺️ I’m very excited for these next few months ahead!

Bernabeu lab retreat in the middle of nowhere in "el Bergadà"...
I feel super super fortunate of having started the lab with such amazing and vibrant group of people. Our little family 😍🥲

[Livia Piatti @Livia_Piatti]

It was great to share part of my PhD work with the vascular biology community at #EMBOBuildNetworks among so many inspiring talks. Thanks to the organisers for an amazing second edition of the workshop👏🏼

[Maria Bernabeu @marietabernabeu]

Best reward as a PI... feeling proud about everyone's work in the lab. Congrats @Livia_Piatti for an excellent talk at #EMBOBuildNetworks, getting vascular biologists and engineers excited about malaria research

[Livia Piatti @Livia_Piatti]

@marietabernabeu Thank you Maria! 🥰

[Rory Long @RoryKMLong]

The first preprint of the my PhD is out! In this project, we studied whether interplay between brain pericytes and Plasmodium falciparum is a direct cause of dysregulation of the angiopoietin-Tie axis during cerebral malaria (CM)

Gràcies a tots i a totes per venir a veure'ns a la #FestadelaCiència i jugar als memory games!

Va ser un matí fantàstic!

Gràcies a les companyes científiques que ho van fer possible i a @BCNCiencia per tota l'organització!
