The local newspaper “Tribuna de Valladolid” has echoed the institutional act of the Asociación Española Contra el Cáncer (Spanish Association against Cancer)(AECC) in which financial support was presented to research projects focused on cancer. 

Among its 2016 Research Award winners, Jelena Urosevic, postdoctoral fellow with the Growth Control and Cancer Metastasis Laboratory, has officially received AECC funding for five years, to support her project on colon cancer. 

The project seeks to identify phosphatases that are regulated by the metastatic process in colon cancer.
