The registration period for the Postgraduate Course "Strategies in Biosafety and Biocontainment" (14th edition). This course, organized by the Faculties of Biosciences and Veterinary Medicine, has the collaboration of IBC-UAB, IRTA-CReSA, CRAG and Hospital Clínic de Barcelona and is preferably aimed at technicians, lab managers, graduates and professionals in the biomedical, biotechnology, veterinary and agri-food sectors.

An international study led by the Institut de Neurociències at the UAB (INc-UAB) has shown that increasing levels of the Klotho protein in mice extends lifespan and improves both physical and cognitive health when aging.

A study led by the UAB and the IBEC has uncovered how co-infection by Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Mycobacterium abscessus, two common lung pathogens, can suppress immune responses and worsen outcomes in patients with respiratory diseases. The findings, published today in the journal Virulence, provide new insight into why polymicrobial infections are particularly difficult to treat and open the door to new therapeutic strategies.
