Close Nuria Lopez-Bigas (ICREA at UPF) received last night the prestigious Premi Banc de Sabadell a la Investigació Biomédica for her research on ellucidating the role of mutations in tumors. Nuria's research offers tools to identify the relevant mutations in a tumor, among the many thousands of irrelevant, background noise of constant mutations that take place in an evolving tumor ecosystem. An example of scientifically worthwhile and socially relevant research.
See the UPF press release here for more details.
Congratulations Núria!

Close PEPTOMYC, the spin off led by Laura Soucek (ICREA at VHIO) has just raised 1 million to complete preclinical developent of a novel tumor inhibitor, a peptyde that blocks the MYC gene, which sits in the centrer of all the signalling cascade that leads to tumor groth and proliferation. Blocking MYC has proved very successful in preclical trials: tumors seem unable to find a way around MYC, and recede very dramatically.
We wish them best of luck and we hope to see the therapy in use some time, sooner rather than later!
