Joan Guinovart, Director of IRB Barcelona, has visited the TV show Espai Terra of the Catalan channel TV3 to talk about the “Crazy About Biomedicine” programme, an original idea of IRB and supported by the Catalunya-La Pedrera Foundation.
Over one year, “Crazy About Biomedicine” allows 24 high school students to step into the research performed at IRB by means of scientific talks and practical workshops in labs.
