On February 11, we celebrate the Women and girls in Science and Technology, #Women in science.
For the past 3 years we feature successful female leaders from our COST Action CA21113. As they are inspiration for younger scientist.
This year we feature on of our youngest @genehumdi members : María Ortiz who is developing advanced genome editing tools for immunotherapy in Granada. She borrow a fierce quote from Nobel Laureate Barbara McClintock:
GenE-HumDi encourages and support girls and young female researchers to pursue the dream of Using Genome Editing for the treatment of Huma Diseases by offering support and a network of peers to boost their research through collaborative training and research.
Previous Inspirational quotes:
#WomenInScience 2025 inspirational quote was favourite of Dr. Carla Fuster. Leader expert in Genome Editing off-target evaluation and genotoxicity. Her inspirational choice, coined by professor Lynn Margulis, can´t get any better alignment with our COST Action principles.
#WomenInScience 2024 featured a inspirational quote from Nobel Laureate Rita Levi Montalcini, favourite of Annarita Miccio a world class Scientist Researching genome Editing to boost therapeutic approaches for hematologic genetic disorders.
#WomenInScience 2023 opened with a quote hand picked by our COST action Chair Alexia Cavazza. She was inspired by pioneer Afro American Astronaut Mae Jemison encouraging curiosity, which is universally accepted to be the fuel of good research.
This post seek to Acknowledge all women in GeneHumdi COST Action. As they stand as true references and inspiration for young scientist and because, this COST Action would not be possible without their talent and commitment.
