Project to develop a new treatment for brain cancer

A collaborative project run by the Institute for Research in Biomedicine (IRB Barcelona) –based in the Barcelona Scientific Park– and Vall d'Hebron Institute of Oncology (VHIO) has received one of the funding concessions of the first call of the "Prova't" programme, promoted by the "Generalitat de Catalunya" (Autonomous Government of Catalonia). "Prova't" seeks to boost the transfer of results from research centres in Catalonia to the productive sector.


El The project will develop a new therapeutic strategy for glioblastoma, a very aggressive type of brain cancer with poor prognosis. This research involves the work of scientists Meritxell Teixidó and Ernest Giralt, at IRB Barcelona, and Joan Seoane at VHIO.
