ChIP-seq is a technique that helps to find out where specific proteins attach to DNA. Why is this useful? Because these proteins can help control which genes are switched on or off. #DNA #Proteins #Tecnique #ChIPseq

🙌 Wrapping up the first day of our General Assembly in Malta where our partner @OmniscopeAI is based! 👏 A day full of discussions, collaboration and new ideas to advance our work on #epigenetic regulation, #HIV, #LongCOVID and neurological complications.

Last week, we took part in the #EuropeanResearchersNight at @CosmoCaixa in Barcelona, where we delivered a workshop on the role of epigenetics in infectious diseases👇 @NocheResearcher @CaixaResearch @CaixaResearchCA @FundlaCaixa @FundlaCaixaCAT #NIGHTSpain #ERN2026

🤔 What should be the main priorities for Long COVID research in the coming years? Listen to the full episode here 👉 open.spotify.com/episode/71t… #LongCOVID #Recovery

During our recent webinar, Berta Rodes presented findings showing that effective antiretroviral therapy (ART) can reduce accelerated biological aging, while emerging treatments may offer additional benefits Read further👉 epivinf.eu/2026/09/14/rewind…

🤔 Is there a growing tendency to look at Long COVID togheter with other post-infectious or chronic conditions? What can we learn from this approach? In this second episode we talk about Long COVID with Gemma Lladós. Full episode 👉 open.spotify.com/episode/1DT…

🤔 Why do some people continue to experience symptoms long after a COVID-19 infection? 🔊 In this episode, Dr Gemma Lladós joins us to answer questions from people living with long COVID. Listen to the full episode on Spotify 👉 open.spotify.com/episode/71t… #LongCOVID #COVID

💥 We have a new webinar on our series on Epigenetics and Infectious Diseases. The session will be presented by Berta Rodes, Principal Researcher HIV/AIDS and Infectious Diseases at IdiPAZ Find attached the registration link 👉 forms.cloud.microsoft/e/0MD6… #HIV #Epigenetics

🔬We often hear about DNA, genes and chromosomes, but what exactly is chromatin? Chromatin is the structure that helps pack and organise our DNA inside cells. Chromatin also plays an important role in determining which genes are active and which are switched off. #Chromatin

📢 We have a new publication! The study led by our partner @CReSA_r with the collaboration of @IrsiCaixa provides important insights into the possible causes of long COVID. Read further 👉 epivinf.eu/2026/07/31/a-stud… Link to article 👉 frontiersin.org/journals/mic…

🤔 Why is it so important to study the epigenetics of viral infections such as Long COVID and HIV? 🎧 Listen to the full episode here 👉open.spotify.com/show/033EYS… #Epigenetics #HIV #LongCOVID

Marta Grzelak is the Production Lead at @OmniscopeAI She leads the implementation of Omniscope's work plan, overseeing the TCR/BCR repertoire profiling and single-cell transcriptomics workstreams. Read further 👇 epivinf.eu/2026/07/20/interv…

Epigenetic signatures act like instructions, telling our cells which genes to switch on and which to keep switched off, without changing the DNA. By studying these patterns, our project aims to identify how epigenetic signatures change when SARS-CoV-2 or HIV infect the body.

🎙️Our project has started a podcast! Christian Brander and Marta Ruiz Riol explore how infections affect our bodies beyond the virus itself and introduce our project. You will find the full episode here 👉 open.spotify.com/episode/1DT…

🗣️ For some patients, COVID-19 symptoms continue long after the initial infection. 😷 Causes of long COVID are still being studied, but there is no single explanation for all patients. #LongCOVID #ImmuneSystem

Meet Igor Moraes Cardoso, a PhD student at IrsiCaixa who is also involved in our project. In the video he explains his journey into science and his research on HIV therapeutic vaccines. Watch it here 👇 #HIV #TherapeuticVaccines #Epigenetics

Long COVID has been shown to significantly affect people’s ability to work. A systematic review found that about 49% of people with Long COVID were working reduced hours, while more than 50% were on some form of sick leave within months after infection.

🔬 In order to study the epigenetic mechanisms altered by infections such as #HIV or #SARSCoV2 our researchers use different techniques. One of them is named ATAC-seq 👇
