- Are you attending the #ICOPAD2026 on #BrainHealth? We'll be there and Dr. Oriol Grau is an invited speaker in this edition! A great opportunity to share experiences and insights from European #memoryclinics involved in this key stage of implementation, see you there! 👇
- Once again, the BBRC joins the #científiques initiative ahead of the International Day of Women and Girls in Science #11F. For the second year in a row, we support this initiative by @bist.eu & @fcri.bsky.social to highlight the vital role of women in science. www.barcelonabeta.org/en/news/news...
- Yesterday, Dr. @sacostav.bsky.social, group leader of BBRC’s Neurological Disease Models group, shared insights on visibility, gender bias and the challenges women researchers still face at the round table “Women scientists in the media” with Dr. Anna Sánchez, Pampa García & @crisaez.bsky.social.
- Excited to share that the Barcelonaβeta Brain Research Center leads the DIV-AD project, funded by @ajuntamentbcn.bsky.social & @caixaresearch.bsky.social, to validate blood-based biomarkers for #Alzheimers across diverse communities in Barcelona.
- DIV-AD will analyse how ethnic, social & cultural factors affect biomarker levels in cognitively unimpaired people, promoting inclusive, equitable research & improving early detection tools. www.barcelonabeta.org/en/news/news...

- Dr. Natàlia Soldevila has received the prestigious Juan de la Cierva – Incorporación fellowship, granted by @cienciagob.bsky.social to contribute to the development and implementation of optimised multimodal strategies for the prevention of cognitive decline👏👇 www.barcelonabeta.org/en/news/news...
- 2025 has been an extraordinary year for scientific progress and shared success. 💚 While we can’t capture everything in one video, these 5 highlights defined our year. Thank you to everyone who made it possible!
- During the holidays, we celebrate the power of research to help protect memories. Thank you for supporting our research and joining us in our mission against Alzheimer's. Here's to a 2026 full of smiles and memories! 🎄🌟🧠
- 🔬📚 Researchers from the #BBRC have contributed to the new @springer.springernature.com volume “Biomarkers of Neurodegenerative Disorders: Current Progress and Future Directions”, a key reference on biomarkers transforming diagnosis, prognosis & therapy development in #Alzheimer’s disease.
- Huge congratulations to Dr. Thais Lorenzo on successfully defending her PhD! 🎓 She has been part of the PENSA study from day one, contributing across both partner institutions, @researchmar.bsky.social and the Neuroimaging Research Group at the #BBRC
- A new BBRC study, GLYMPH-AD, led by Dr. Gonzalo Sánchez Benavides, will explore how sleep blood pressure patterns may affect Alzheimer’s risk, focusing on the glymphatic system, the brain’s cleaning mechanism. 🔬🧠
- Digital tools are transforming #Alzheimer research. A new systematic review from researchers at the #BBRC (Clàudia Porta-Mas, Gonzalo Sánchez-Benavides & @gsalvado.bsky.social) explores the validation status of digital cognitive assessments for AD. Published in @alzdemjournals.bsky.social
- Once again, we participate at the #CTAD2025! This year, @gsalvado.bsky.social gave an oral presentation about the use of blood-based biomarkers and their key role in the clinical trials field. www.barcelonabeta.org/en/news/news...
- We’re proud to announce that the #BBRC and @fpmaragall.bsky.social have joined @dorassessment.bsky.social and @coarassessment.bsky.social to promote fairer, more responsible research assessment. By endorsing these initiatives, we emphasise quality, relevance and diverse contributions in research. 🔬🧠
- At the BBRC neuroimaging research group, led by Dr. @gsalvado.bsky.social, we study how the brain changes years before Alzheimer’s develops 🧠 By combining neuroimaging with genetic and cognitive data, we look for clues to anticipate and prevent the disease. Full video here: youtu.be/BGp65TN5OVQ
