PUBLIC DISSEMINATION OF SCIENCE

The lab is highly committed to Public Dissemination of Science (PDS) following the guidelines of the Horizon Europe Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI). We are regularly involved in events devoted to this matter, such as the PRBB Open Day. All published work is disseminated through press releases in web pages and social networks, including several Twitter accounts such as @CristinaPujades @UPFBiomedia @UPFBarcelona
