Happy to be the next Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) director. The CRG always stood out to me for its excellence in decoding life’s principles & its collaborative, open and innovative way of doing science. Thrilled to follow L Serrano footsteps & join its amazing community! crg.eu/en/news/monica…
