David Peris Navarro, senior researcher in Genetics and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Oslo (Norway) has won the first edition of the Maria Blasco Award for the best scientific article of the year published by a Spanish researcher in Norway during the year 2023. The scientific director of the Spanish National Cancer Research Center […] - First ‘CNIO Investors Day’ to help bridge the gap between cancer research and patient treatment
19.03.2024
A dozen venture capital firms, as well as funding and consulting firms, have listened carefully to the ideas of some of Spain’s best cancer researchers, scientists from the Spanish National Cancer Research Center (CNIO), to turn their scientific results into tangible advances for patients. It was at the CNIO Investors Day, an event to promote […] - But… how exactly do we research cancer? Find out with the CNIO at the ‘Madrid es Ciencia’ fair
05.03.2024
More than 500 highly specialized people work at the Spanish National Cancer Research Center, the CNIO, to ensure that cancer ceases to be one of the leading causes of death. The CNIO is among the top ten monographic cancer research centers on a global scale, both in number and quality of scientific publications and in […] - CNIO researchers discover a protein that prevents DNA triplication
04.03.2024
Every time a cell divides, its DNA is duplicated so that the two daughter cells have the same genetic material as their parent. This means that millions of times a day a biochemical wonder takes place in the body: the copying of the DNA molecule. It is a high-precision job carried out by specific proteins […] - The search for a liquid biopsy for the early detection of pancreatic cancer summons top European experts in this tumor at the CNIO
22.01.2024
Pancreatic cancer is usually detected in advanced stages, often resulting in death within a year of diagnosis. The main focus of research is on early detection. Europe’s leading researchers in this tumor are working to diagnose pancreatic cancer years before symptoms appear, with a blood test. They have presented their advances at the CNIO (Spanish […] - Seeing is discovering. A selection of snapshots by CNIO Microscopy Unit shows the value of image in cancer research
05.01.2024
Confocal microscopy is a type of advanced optical microscopy that unveils cells and their interior in great detail, and in 3D. “Confocal microscopy is critical to understand how different cancer cells behave and how they respond to treatments,” says Isabel Peset, head of the CNIO Confocal Microscopy Unit. To be able to see structures within […] - Eva Ortega, Scientific Director of the CNIO Biobank, appointed new Secretary General for Research
28.12.2023
Molecular biochemist Eva Ortega Paíno, scientific director of the Biobank at the Spanish National Cancer Research Center (CNIO), was appointed new Secretary General for Research at the Ministery for Science, Innovation and Universities at yesterday’s session of the Council of Ministers. The appointment is published in today’s edition of BOE. Ortega has been directing the […] - A new paediatric cancer unit at CNIO is researching to bring personalised therapies to children as well
21.12.2023
In children, cancer is a rare disease, which is cured – with treatment – in eight out of ten cases. But it is also the leading cause of death in children and teenagers in developed countries, and its therapies have not improved at the same rate as for adult cancers. The National Cancer Research Centre […]
