El Mundo, La Vanguardia, ABC, Expansión, El Punt Avui, Ara, among other media, have published an article about the launch of "Starlife", a new informatics infrastructure. This technology will allow the use of the most advanced computation techniques, such as those applied to detect new genes linked to cancer and rare diseases, or to simulate the behaviour of molecules and thus speed up the drug discovery process.
