Núria Malats: ”the challenge of epidemiology is to analyze all information relating to a disease”
The integration of different levels of information associated with a disease, such as issues related to environmental exposure, epigenetics, genetics, genomics, metabolomics, transcriptomics and proteomics, requires the development of innovative designs and new methodological tools. The head of the research group on Molecular Epidemiology and Genetics at the Spanish National Cancer Research Centre (CNIO), Núria […]
IDIBELL researches to cure cystic fibrosis
On Wednesday April 25 we commemorate the national day of cystic fibrosis, one of the most common serious genetic diseases, affecting one in five thousand births. The Human Molecular Genetics research group at IDIBELL searches new treatments for cystic fibrosis, both from a functional approach and from the development of gene therapies. The research carried […]

Identified a protein useful in predicting the risk of pulmonary metastases in breast cancer patients
Researchers from the IDIBELL have shown that breast cancer cells that metastasize to the lung express a higher level of the protein peroxiredoxin 2 (PRDX2). The study suggests that the modulation of the levels of this protein could be a new therapeutic strategy to prevent lung metastases. The study results have been advanced in the […]
La Vanguardia publishes an article on innovation, by the IDIBELL general manager
