I just arrived in Erlangen, invited by the #ESPCR to speak at its annual meeting on albinism from a communication and cultural perspective. Very proud to have the opportunity to speak to such an important audience and looking forward to learning from them.

In Erlangen (Germany), near Nürnberg, at the 26th @EuSPCR meeting discussing about pigmentation and pigment cells, awarding Manfred Schartl the Fritz Anders Medal and proud of having @pepesolves around from @ALBA_albinismo to present his view of #albinism

I am attending the Asian Society of Pigment Cell Research (ASPCR) meeting in Shanghai (China) representing the Federation @ifpcs and European Society @EuSPCR together with many colleagues from around the globe. Progressing into our understanding of melanocyte cell biology.

It was an honor for me to share our findings on uveal melanomas at the 32 meeting of the Japanese Society for Pigment Cell Research in Gifu. Thanks so much to the agencies that fund our projects in this field ⁦⁦@Inserm⁩ ⁦@laliguecancer⁩ ⁦@Institut_cancer⁩

Yesterday, I presented our current understanding of #albinism at the 32nd JSPCR annual meeting in Gifu, Japan. Thanks so much to Masatake Osawa and colleagues for this kind invitation. We also held the 2024 @ifpcs council, in preparation of 2026 IPCC conference in New Delhi-India

Greetings from Yamagata (North of Japan) where I have been invited by Prof. Tamio Suzuki to discuss our latest results on #albinism a rare genetic condition and hypopigmentation disorder in this meeting on #vitiligo an autoimmune trait resulting into partial loss of body pigment.

[Lluis Montoliu @LluisMontoliu]

Hoy por la tarde vuelo a Japón, para participar en un congreso de trastornos hipopigmentarios, como el #albinismo o el #vitíligo organizado por el Prof. Tamio Suzuki, de la Universidad de Yamagata. He tratado estos temas en mi libro #GenesDeColores publicado por @NextDoorPublish

[Corine Bertolotto @BertolottoLab]

Group picture of the #IPCC2023 conference held at the #BizkaiaAretoa @upvehu Another great meeting on pigment cell research. Thanks to Lola Boyano, Aintzane Asumendi @salonsoLab José Carlos García-Borrón & @LluisMontoliu for organizing such an interesting and stimulating congress

El logo del congreso es un guiño a la araña Mamá (Maman) de Bourgeois, que protege al Guggenheim, y cuya forma nos recuerda a los melanocitos, las células pigmentarias que están en la base de la epidermis, lindando con la dermis, y que son las verdaderas fábricas de melanina.

Volando hoy a Bilbao cuando todavía no están puestas ni las calles y el sol todavía anda pensando si aparecer por el horizonte. Esta semana estaremos en el congreso internacional #IPCC2023 organizado por @upvehu @EuSPCR y @ifpcs sobre células pigmentarias
