The Spanish Association Against Cancer in Barcelona held an event to present the new cancer research projects 2023. In total, \u20ac29.4 million in 233 grants were awarded throughout the State. Of these, 44 have been allocated to Barcelona, two of which to the Bellvitge Biomedical Research Institute (IDIBELL).<\/p>\n
The awards have been conducted by Dr. Laureano Molins, president of the Spanish Association Against Cancer in Barcelona, and Dra. Marta Puyol, scientific director of the Association\u2019s Scientific Foundation. Two dialogue tables were also held with the participation of some awarded researchers and patients in order to talk about the translational nature of oncology research. The event ended with a patient\u2019s testimony.<\/p>\n
At IDIBELL, thanks to a LAB grant, the team led by Dr. B\u00e1rbara Rivera<\/strong> will investigate two syndromes associated with a cancer predisposition, with the aim of identifying miRNAs that act as diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers and also possible treatment strategies. On the other hand, Dr. Marta Crous,<\/strong> researcher at ICO (Cancer Epidemiology Research Program) and IDIBELL, will receive a Proyectos Estrat\u00e9gicos grant to study how lifestyle, mainly diet and physical exercise, influences the risk and survival of endometrial cancer. In addition, students Emma Gonzalvez and Laura Ros have received a grant for their academic internship at IDIBELL.<\/p>\n The Association Research grants awarded cover every stage of the scientific career and all research phases, from basic research to innovation and clinical phase, in addition to all types of cancer.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Bellvitge Biomedical Research Institute (IDIBELL) is a biomedical research center created in 2004.
