The Awards of the Consell Social of the UB and the Bosch i Gimpera Foundation of the UB have been awarded to the project Formoterol: a new therapeutic strategy in the treatment of cachexia (as the best project of transferring knowledge), which will receive 5,000 euros, and the company Intelligent Pharma, SL (as the best innovative company) with 10,000 euros.

The Antoni Caparrós award has been granted to project Formoterol for many reasons. One of them is the publications done. The knowledge transfer award has been given to a pharmaceutical firm of Cambridge (UK). The aim of this company is to develop products for the treatments of cancer symptoms in patients. The patent was licensed to the pharmaceutical in June 2008.
