The event brought together 40 renowned researchers to advance science in Spain and foster collaborations.

On March 14th, UniStem Day 2025 took place, a special event dedicated to stem cells and advanced therapies for high school students.

We spoke with Dr. Alex Taylor, coordinator of the Animal Minds Lab, who told us about the focus of his research and what is currently known about animal intelligence.

On February 20th, 2025 took place the official launch of the DIPOLE project, a collaborative initiative aimed at advancing personalized treatment for pharmacoresistant epilepsies. 

This week, from March 10th to 16th, marks Brain Awareness Week, a global initiative aimed at sharing knowledge about this fascinating organ and the ongoing research to unravel its mysteries.

Professor Raul Andero’s laboratory, Translational Mechanisms of Fear Memory, has registered a European patent on the use of Fezolinetant—a drug originally developed to treat vasomotor symptoms associated with menopause—for modulating the consolidation of aversive memories.

Sixteen female researchers from the Institute have been recognized in the recent "Ranking of Spanish Women Researchers" published this February.

To commemorate February 11, the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, our Institute lanched several initiatives to give visibility to women scientists and inspire young girls to pursue scientific careers.

A research team at the Institute has developed a new protein capable of improving memory and reducing Tau protein levels in animal models of Alzheimer's disease. The new compound, HEBE, generated by fusing three proteins, represents a new approach in the search for new strategies to tackle the disease.

A review published in Molecular Psychiatry by ICREA Professor Dr. Raül Andero delves into the intricate mechanisms underlying fear memory, offering a comprehensive analysis that integrates findings from both human and animal studies. Read the publication
