D\u2019entre les idees amb m\u00e9s capacitat per renovar i impulsar la societat hi trobem les procedents d’un col\u00b7lectiu d’investigadors, creadors, artistes, professionals que es troben en un per\u00edode intermedi de la seva carrera, una fase entre la jove promesa i el s\u00e8nior consagrat, en la qual ja s’han obtingut els primers resultats significatius, per\u00f2 en qu\u00e8 una gran part de la producci\u00f3 est\u00e0 encara per arribar. <\/p>\n
Un exponent d’aquest col\u00b7lectiu \u00e9s \u00c1lvaro Ayt\u00e9s Meneses<\/strong> (Barcelona, 1977), investigador principal a l’Institut d’Investigaci\u00f3 Biom\u00e8dica de Bellvitge (IDIBELL) i a l’Institut Catal\u00e0 d’Oncologia (ICO). I en reconeixement a la seva v\u00e0lua, la Fundaci\u00f3 BBVA li ha atorgat una de les Ajudes a Investigadors i Creadors Culturals<\/strong> que la instituci\u00f3 ha convocat, per tercer any consecutiu, amb la finalitat de contribuir a recon\u00e8ixer i consolidar els membres m\u00e9s fruct\u00edfers d’aquest col\u00b7lectiu altament qualificat, que malgrat el seu valor i potencial sovint no han assolit l’estabilitat laboral. Ayt\u00e9s va iniciar la seva actual l\u00ednia de treball sobre c\u00e0ncer de pr\u00f2stata a la Universitat de Columbia, l\u2019any 2009. El seu projecte, Mecanismes epigen\u00e8tics de resist\u00e8ncia a la castraci\u00f3 en c\u00e0ncer de pr\u00f2stata: oportunitats terap\u00e8utiques en combinaci\u00f3 amb antagonistes del receptor d’andr\u00f2gens<\/em>, estudiar\u00e0 els mecanismes moleculars responsables del c\u00e0ncer de pr\u00f2stata resistent a ter\u00e0pia, i explorar\u00e0 estrat\u00e8gies per combatre-ho. La resist\u00e8ncia terap\u00e8utica \u00e9s la principal causa de mortalitat en c\u00e0ncer i de la despesa farmac\u00e8utica en atenci\u00f3 oncol\u00f2gica, per la qual cosa la seva investigaci\u00f3 \u00e9s clau a l\u2019hora d\u2019incrementar la superviv\u00e8ncia i optimitzar la gesti\u00f3 de recursos dels sistemes p\u00fablics de salut. En particular, en c\u00e0ncer de pr\u00f2stata, la superviv\u00e8ncia als 5 anys baixa des del 100% en tumors en fase primerenca, al 25% en pacients amb malaltia metast\u00e0sica resistent a la castraci\u00f3. <\/p>\n D’un total de 1.800 sol\u00b7licituds presentades en aquesta \u00faltima convocat\u00f2ria, els projectes guanyadors -que han estat seleccionats mitjan\u00e7ant un proc\u00e9s obert i competitiu- aborden q\u00fcestions d’inter\u00e8s general com la investigaci\u00f3 del c\u00e0ncer, la malaltia cardiovascular, la protecci\u00f3 del medi ambient des de diferents perspectives o la recuperaci\u00f3 del patrimoni musical. L’edat mitjana dels seleccionats \u00e9s de 40 anys, i la majoria t\u00e9 una \u00e0mplia experi\u00e8ncia internacional i una situaci\u00f3 laboral no consolidada. Les 60 ajudes individuals estan dotades en uns 40.000 euros cadascuna.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Amb aquesta iniciativa, la Fundaci\u00f3 BBVA impulsa l’esfor\u00e7 individual en benefici col\u00b7lectiu de professionals en un estadi intermedi de la seva carrera i que han demostrat la seva alta productivitat i car\u00e0cter innovador \u00c1lvaro Ayt\u00e9s Meneses la Fundaci\u00f3 BBVA li ha atorgat una de les Ajudes a Investigadors i Creadors Culturals<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"no-sidebar","site-content-layout":"page-builder","ast-site-content-layout":"","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"default","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"default","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2024-05-26 09:45:26","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/idibell.cat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7957"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/idibell.cat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/idibell.cat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/idibell.cat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/idibell.cat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7957"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/idibell.cat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7957\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/idibell.cat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7957"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/idibell.cat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7957"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/idibell.cat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7957"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
