The newspaper Regió7 has interviewed Nuria López-Bigas, head of the Biomedical Genomics Lab at IRB Barcelona, about her work in computational biology. In this interview, she talks about how she reads millions of DNA data from cancer tumours to establish guidelines to explain the behaviour of diseased cells and identify strategies through which to cure them.
Muy Interesante, El Punt AVui, Diario Médico, Laboratory Journal and Federfarma, among other national and international media, have published articles about the research led by Núria López-Bigas, ICREA researcher at IRB Barcelona and that explains the origin of the mysterious periodicity in the genome.

The Spanish Association of Cancer Research recognizes his work and grants him the ASEICA Young Investigator Award 2018.
The award ceremony will be held in Valencia on 6, 7 and 8 November.
The team headed by Núria López-Bigas has published an article in Cell about what might have favoured the periodicity of certain base pairs in the genomes of eukaryotic organisms.
The structure adopted by DNA when packaged inside cells influences the periodicity observed.
