The Fundación Científica Caja Rural de Soria (FCCR) presents Salvador Aznar Benitah with a prize for his research on cancer. This award is given in recognition of the "exceptional work" done by the ICREA researcher and group leader of the Stem Cells and Cancer Lab at IRB Barcelona.
As part of the award, Salvador Aznar Benitah will be presenting his findings in metastasis research in the opening session of the Soria Health Congress 2017, on October 19.
Nine scientists at IRB Barcelona form part of EMBO, an organisation that comprises more than 1,800 outstanding researchers from Europe and around the world specialised in molecular biology.
“This will allow me to strengthen interactions with other European researchers, as well as to stay abreast of new ideas, concepts and technologies,” says Aznar Benitah.
El Economista, Cuatro, Geriatricarea, among other media, have published articles about the award received by Manuel Serrano, head of the Cellular Plasticity and Disease Lab at IRB Barcelona, for his work "Tissue damage and senescence provide critical signals for cell reprogramming in vivo".

Sergi Ferrer-Salat, president of the Board of Trustees of the Ferrer Research Foundation, highlighted that the work done by IRB Barcelona scientist, Manuel Serrano, is helping to further our understanding of the relation between ageing and cancer and identify approaches to manipulate this relation to our advantage.
