Stroke Pharmacogenomics and Genetics

We are a public research group dedicated to understand
stroke and other neurological diseases 🔬🧠 at Institut de Recerca Sant Pau @IRSantPau @HospitalSantPau

Congratulations to @LaiaLlucia on funding awarded to the MIND Project through the @Ricors_Ictus Emerging Researchers call, funded by @SaludISCIII.

MIND aims to improve understanding of cognitive impairment after minor stroke and identify early biomarkers in at-risk patients.

We’re in Maastricht! ✈️
Today Paula Boldo and @JaraCarcel are presenting at #ESOC2026 on neurovascular genetics: blood pressure–related mechanisms and sex-specific genetic risk in ischaemic stroke.
More to come. 👀

Més de 1.400 persones inscrites en la quarta edició d’#EntreDones a #SantPau, una jornada que ha tornat a posar al centre la salut femenina des de l’embaràs fins a la menopausa. 💜

Una trobada de divulgació, conversa i aprenentatge compartit per abordar la salut amb perspectiva de sexe i gènere, de la mà de professionals, experts i testimonis.

Durant la jornada s’han tractat temes com les malalties autoimmunitàries, la salut mental, la depressió postpart, l’osteoporosi, els TCA o el benestar, amb col��loquis, tallers i activitats participatives per apropar el coneixement científic a la ciutadania.

I, per segon any consecutiu, l’Entre Nenes ha obert un espai per despertar la curiositat dels infants sobre salut, ciència i gènere, sembrant preguntes i coneixement des de ben petits.

Meet the team!
Introducing Hairui Wang (@Harry001004), PhD Student on our team at @IRSantPau. Originally from Shandong (China), he spent 7 years in Beijing completing his Bachelor’s and Master’s.
Outside the lab, he enjoys hiking and music 🎧.
Glad to have him on the team!

[Stroke Pharmacogenomics and Genetics @PharmaEpigenLab]

Thanks to @carnecrudaradio and the whole team for putting the spotlight on rare diseases, including #CADASIL, one of the conditions studied by our research group.

Visibility is the first step forward 🙌
To mark #RareDiseaseDay, we held a #CADASIL awareness and outreach event at @HospitalSantPau with @CadasilEspana, focusing on raising understanding and supporting research as the way to move ahead.

[Stroke Pharmacogenomics and Genetics @PharmaEpigenLab]

Our PI @israelcadenas1 and @LaiaLlucia, predoctoral researcher in our group, took part in #BiostrokeMeeting2026 🧠

Israel presented the International Stroke Genetics Consortium, of which we are part, and connected with other members of the Stroke team at @IRSantPau .

🎢🔬 For #InternationalDayofWomenandGirlsinScience, our group ran a DNA workshop at @parctibidabo, extracting DNA from a fruit 🍓 and showing little curious minds that science can be fun & inspiring ✨.

Thanks to @IRSantPau, @CADASIL_Gen, @laiamarine & @Franco_Appiani

2025 was an incredible year for our research group! 🎉
Thanks to everyone who supported us. Grants, awards, conferences and new team members made it truly memorable.
Here’s to an exciting 2026! 🚀

Connection 🤝: building strong links between patients, families, and professionals is essential for a robust research ecosystem

[Stroke Pharmacogenomics and Genetics @PharmaEpigenLab]

On 11 December at #SantPau, we held #CADASILDay, gathering feedback from patients and families via Mentimeter. Their insights will help guide future research! 💡
Thanks to @CadasilEspana . Here’s what stood out:👇

It's Christmas (and traditions) time! 🎄
Our team enjoyed a festive lab meeting with churros and hot chocolat (thanks, @israelcadenas1 !) and a team lunch this week.
Wishing you all a lovely festive season 🎅🎉
