  • From Academia to Startups

    From Academia to Startups
    Dec 4 2025
    In this episode, we’re diving into the world of start-ups and what it takes to move from academic research to the industrial stage. We’re joined by Kristina Haase (EMBL Barcelona) and Marc Talló (noctuRNA Therapeutics, a UPF's spinoff) who are making that very transition, sharing their experiences of shifting mindsets from academia to the commercial world, finding funding, and redefining priorities when moving from pure research to real-world impact. For our transversal discussion, we talk about why team composition matters and how priorities can differ between academic and start-up environments.

  • Inside Alzheimer’s research

    Inside Alzheimer’s research
    Nov 27 2025
    This episode explores Alzheimer’s from prevention to treatment. Alongside Laura Forcano (HMRIB) and Oriol Grau-Rivera (FPM-BBRC-HMRIB), our two experts, we look at lifestyle interventions designed to slow cognitive decline, alongside efforts to detect early cognitive changes and test how new trials can be implemented in clinics. The conversation also covers new drugs targeting amyloid and tau, their promise and risks, and the importance of including low socio-economic groups in dementia research. Beyond the science, we discuss how communication and language can empower the public and fight stigma around dementia.

    Mutations
    Nov 20 2025
    This episode dives into the world of genetics and mutations. We’re joined by two experts: Marc de Manuel (IBE) studying the mechanisms and evolutionary variation of mutations, and Donate Weghorn (CRG) developing computational models to predict mutation probability. Together, they shed light on cancer, inherited mutations across families, and the curious Peto’s paradox—why bigger, longer-lived animals aren’t necessarily more prone to cancer. We also step outside the lab to discuss careers in research: short-term versus tenure-track contracts for early-stage PIs, and whether institutions truly value the right qualities when it comes to promotion.
