Esteller ha llevado a cabo una investigaci\u00f3n pionera y de liderazgo internacional en epigen\u00e9tica (el estudio de los cambios heredables en la funci\u00f3n de los genes, derivados de factores externos o ambientales no relacionados con la secuencia del ADN) como factor clave en el desarrollo del c\u00e1ncer. Su tarea ha sido decisiva en el estudio de la metilaci\u00f3n como mecanismo alterador de los genes supresores de tumores humanos. Actualmente, el galardonado centra sus investigaciones en el establecimiento de los mapas epigen\u00f3micos de c\u00e9lulas normales y transformadas, el estudio de las modificaciones epigen\u00e9ticas y el desarrollo de nuevos medicamentos epigen\u00e9ticos para tratar el c\u00e1ncer.
El Premi Nacional de Investigaci\u00f3n, dotado con 40.000 euros, reconoce el investigador que haya contribuido recientemente y de manera significativa internacionalmente al avance de una disciplina cient\u00edfica en cualquiera de sus \u00e1mbitos: ciencias humanas y sociales, ciencias de la vida y de la salud, ingenier\u00edas y tecnolog\u00eda y ciencias experimentales.
Manel Esteller se licenci\u00f3 en Medicina y Cirug\u00eda en la Universidad de Barcelona, \u200b\u200by se doctor\u00f3 en la misma Universidad con una tesis sobre gen\u00e9tica molecular del carcinoma del endometrio. Es autor de m\u00e1s de cuatrocientos art\u00edculos en el \u00e1mbito de las ciencias m\u00e9dicas, miembro de numerosas sociedades cient\u00edficas internacionales y cr\u00edtico de varias revistas cient\u00edficas. Tambi\u00e9n ha recibido varias distinciones, como el Premio Rei Jaume I de investigaci\u00f3n b\u00e1sica (2013), el XX Premio Severo Ochoa de Investigaci\u00f3n Biom\u00e9dica (2013), el Premio Vanguardia de la Ciencia (2014) o la Medalla Josep Trueta al m\u00e9rito sanitario (2015).
Los Premios Nacionales de Investigaci\u00f3n tambi\u00e9n han galardonado, en la categor\u00eda de Talento Joven, Frank Koppens, profesor de investigaci\u00f3n ICREA en el Instituto de Ciencias Fot\u00f3nicas (ICFO). Se ha adjudicado tambi\u00e9n el Premio Nacional de Comunicaci\u00f3n Cient\u00edfica al programa ‘Qu\u00e8quicom’, de Televisi\u00f3n de Catalu\u00f1a; el Premio Nacional de Mecenazgo Cient\u00edfico en la Fundaci\u00f3n Catalunya-La Pedrera; y el Premio Nacional al partenariado p\u00fablico en R+D a la Fundaci\u00f3n Alicia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
