Two webinars to discover how the microbiome and the maternal brain influence our health
This Thursday, 22 January at 4 p.m., Dr Carlos Castaño, a postdoctoral researcher, will take part in the CIBEROBN Webinars 2026 series with a presentation focused on an emerging topic in the field of host–microbiome interaction. His talk, titled “Isolation and Characterization of Circulating Bacterial Extracellular Vesicles: A Novel Approach to Understanding Host–Microbiome Interactions in Obesity”, will explain how bacterial extracellular vesicles found in the bloodstream may offer new tools to understand the molecular mechanisms that link the microbiome to obesity. This innovative approach opens the door to new research lines and possible diagnostic or therapeutic applications.
Later, on 16 February at 4 p.m., the SEBBM group “Molecular Bases of Pathology”, coordinated by Dr Sonia Fernández‑Veledo, will organise another webinar dedicated to the neurobiology of eating behaviour. Researcher Roberta Haddad‑Tovolli (IDIBAPS) will give the lecture “Neuronal circuits underlying appetitive behaviors in the maternal brain and the programming of offspring health”. The session will explore how the neuronal circuits of the maternal brain regulate food‑related behaviours and how these processes may influence the long‑term health of the offspring.
In the coming months, the scientific community interested in biomedical research and the molecular basis of disease will have the opportunity to attend two high‑level online sessions led by experts in their fields.

The webinar is part of the growing interest in understanding how neurobiological and environmental factors during pregnancy and breastfeeding affect development and future health.
Both webinars are an excellent opportunity to update knowledge, discover new research perspectives and connect with the specialised scientific community.
In 2025, the Institut d’Investigació Sanitària Pere Virgili (IISPV) celebrates 20 years of promoting research in health and biomedicine across the region. With more than 600 professionals and 38 research groups, the institute has become a key reference in transferring scientific knowledge to clinical practice. Years after its foundation, it continues working to improve the health and well-being of the population.
