The Director of the Spanish National Cancer Research Centre (CNIO), Maria A. Blasco, and the President of the CLH Group, José Luis López de Silanes, met last Friday in the CNIO headquarters, in Madrid, to sign an agreement that will foster cooperation between both institutions. This agreement will allow the company to support research and training of research personnel, with the goal of advancing the development of innovative and specific therapies against cancer.

Through this collaboration, the CLH Group will join the CNIO Friends community, a philanthropic platform for individuals, companies and entities to raise public awareness about the importance of supporting cancer research. After a year, this initiative has brought together close 600 Friends and collaborators. Thanks to them, the Centre recently launched a new post-doctoral contract programme to attract scientific talent to the Centre to combat cancer.
