Barcelona BioMed Conferences Advance Oncology

The 41st Barcelona BioMed Conference, co-organised by Dr. Núria López-Bigas, brought together 150 international experts to rethink cancer prevention beyond genetic mutations—highlighting obesity, alcohol and other “promoter” factors. Five months later, Dr. Ángel R. Nebreda chaired the 42nd edition on “Molecular Determinants of Cancer Therapy Resistance,” where clinicians and basic scientists dissected mechanisms of treatment evasion and proposed novel combination strategies.

Together, the Barcelona BioMed Conferences reinforce Barcelona’s role as a hub for cutting-edge oncology research, fostering collaborations that may translate risk-reduction insights and resistance-overcoming tactics into real patient benefit.
