\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\tWith a budget of 41 million euros over 4 years, the IRB Foundation’s main goals are to boost biomedical research, with special emphasis on oncology, and to strengthen relations with other entities and research groups, as well as to promote and coordinate interdisciplinary research in the field of biomedicine. The new foundation will establish an ideal setting in which to strengthen activities involving innovation and the transfer of know-how and technology and will ensure, as maximum criteria, quality standards in all stages of investigation. Furthermore, the foundation will offer its scientific know-how and technological facilities to health institutes.<\/p>\n
In addition, the establishment of the IRB Foundation will allow the development of an oncological research line, which will be directed by the researcher Joan Massagu\u00e9. This line will include the “Tumor Metastasis Research Laboratory” (METLAB). This facility will apply the knowledge generated by Joan Massagu\u00e9 in his cancer research line to the study of the causes behind metastasis and the mechanisms through which other organs are affected. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
