The magazines "GEN" & "Front Line Genomics" have echoed on the study performed by IRB Barcelona group leader Fran Supek and Ben Lehner at the Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) in Barcelona.
Published in the journal Cell, the study identifies one of the key mechanisms responsible for mutations caused by a defective DNA ‘spellchecker’—a process that repairs damage in our genomes.

The projects address breast, lung, colon, prostate and melanoma cancer.
A project headed by Antonio Zorzano at IRB Barcelona has been awarded funding from the BBVA Foundation to explore a possible link between ageing and cancer.
Called MitoFuss, the project focuses on the mitochondrial protein Mitofusin 2.
Manuel Serrano, ICREA researcher at IRB Barcelona, is the subject of the next video in the Meet Our Scientists series: “Killing zombie cells”.
In the video, Serrano talks about the work undertaken in his lab to find compounds that can remove damaged cells from the body.
