Paella summer retreat
Our own way to say hello to the summer, extended lab meeting (Madueño’s, Merelo's and Gomez-Mena's come too) by the sea, swimming, sipping beer and wine, eating paella.. and with all the good vibes right after Saint John’s night. Happy solstice!

Vero thesis
We love PhD defense days. And this time was Verónica Sánchez Gerschon, who brilliantly presented her work on GPA regulators in Arabidopsis. And a great day for Vicente too: his first PhD student, co-supervised with Cristina, got the degree with all the honors.

Clara’s day
The first “pandemic” thesis from the lab. Clara faced all the problems of a hard time but succeeded in producing a beautiful work that earned her a PhD with honors. Here she is with all the future doctors in the lab, happy as only one can be after the defense!
