Fany was invited to present at the conference “L’évolution des mécanismes du développement”, organized by Denis Duboule.
We’re delighted to celebrate that Nacho and Rubén attended the General Meeting of the Spanish EvoDevOmics Network, where they presented a talk sharing their latest research. The meeting brought together researchers from across Spain focused on Evolutionary Developmental Biology, making it a great venue for discussion and exchange.
We’re thrilled to welcome Fabian Lim to the Real Lab as a postdoctoral researcher.
Fany was an invited speaker at the congress Limb Development and Regeneration: Quantitative, Ecological, and Diversification Studies, held in Japan.
SECRIS (Seville Early Career Research Investigators Symposium) is an initiative created to provide a shared meeting space for early‑career researchers from the three main biomedical research centres in Seville: IBiS, CABIMER, and CABD. Coordinated by Prof. Gabriel Núñez (University of Michigan / Visiting Professor at IBiS) and organised by predoctoral researchers from the three centres, the symposium aims to showcase early‑career research, promote interaction, and foster new scientific collaborations across institutions in the city.
Fany traveled to Valencia to meet with the EvoDevOmics Spanish Network 🇪🇸🧬.
