The biologist who seeks funding to overcome the barriers of schizophrenia
Agencia SINC echoes the interest of pharmaceutical multinationals in Iproteos. Founded in 2011 by Teresa Tarragó, this biotechnology company is a spin-off of IRB Barcelona. Since then, Tarragó aimed to convert a molecule (IPR-19) discovered during her research into a drug. This molecule has great potential for the treatment of cognitive problems caused by schizophrenia.
