🖤Cuánto cariño en este Tributo a Marta Shahbazi por Mirna Pérez-Moreno, su directora de tesis en CNIO (ambas en la foto)
“Marta tenía una memoria extraordinaria para las personas. No solo recordaba en qué trabajaban, sino también qué las hacía felices”.

More tragedy to come from the Toledo train crash in Spain. Yesterday I spoke to Carlos Shahbazi, whose sister, biologist Marta, was on one of the trains and missing. Last night he messaged to say she had died. My piece on Marta in today’s @thetimes

We built ‘maps’ 💻showing that pancreatic progenitors and nearby supporting cells form niches &
used #stemcells 🧫to recreate pancreatic niches in the lab 🧪 & study how human beta cells develop
