• Research Scientist for the Transformation and Metastasis Group
  16.07.2025
  DescriptionThe Transformation and Metastasis laboratory led Dr Gonzalez Suarez is funded by several national grants and the European Research Council ERC. The goal of Dr. Eva González-Suárez´s laboratory is to understand the signaling pathways implicated in cell identity in physiological conditions, crosstalk between epitelial immune cells during cancer initiation, progression and metástasis. We have a […]
• Research Scientist for the Biology Section
  16.07.2025
  DescriptionThe Experimental Therapeutics Programme (ETP) at the CNIO is composed of a multidisciplinary team of biologists and medicinal chemists dedicated to the discovery and development of novel antitumor agents. We are currently seeking a PhD-level scientist to join the Biology Section of the ETP to cover a maternity leave. The candidate will be involved in […]
• Predoctoral Research Assistant for the Computational Oncology Group
  16.07.2025
  DescriptionThe Computational Oncology Group (PI Geoff Macintyre) at the Spanish National Cancer Centre (CNIO) is seeking a research assistant to perform DNA sequencing of cancer samples. In the Macintyre Lab we are using single cell and bulk DNA sequencing and computational approaches to identify different types of chromosomal instability and match them with therapy response. […]
• Postdoctoral Research Assistant for the Bioinformatics Unit

  DescriptionThe Bioinformatics Unit within the Cancer Genomics programme is seeking to recruit a highly motivated and talented post-doctoral bioinformatician. The selected candidate will work in the collection, analysis and interpretation of biological/clinical data, with a focus on high-throughput sequencing data. He or She will design data analysis strategies and develop and use computational tools for […]
• CNIO researchers discover a molecular mechanism that initiates colon cancer
  06.05.2025
  Colorectal – colon or rectal – cancer is the third most diagnosed type of cancer worldwide. Up to 80% of the cases are related to environmental factors and lifestyle, such as poor diet, sedentarism, obesity, smoking or excessive alcohol consumption. Most colorectal cancers arise from adenomatous polyps, a precancerous lesion that may progress to a […]
• The CNIO will use AI to search for mutation patterns which help predict tumor development and response to treatment
  16.04.2025
  Some tumors are caused by one or more inherited mutations in specific genes. Others are the result of the accumulation, over a lifetime, of mutations induced by environmental factors or lifestyle habits. Over time, research has identified some of these mutations as being directly responsible for causing a tumor. However, there are many other mutations […]
• Two new research groups at CNIO thanks to the arrival of the ‘AI Generation’
  09.04.2025
  The ministry for Digital Transformation and Public Service and the ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities presented the programme ‘Generation D: Building the AI Generation’, which has allowed the National Cancer Research Centre (CNIO) to bring on board two new research groups and fourteen researchers. They all share the ability to use Artificial Intelligence as […]
• CNIO research reveals how melanoma and other tumours succeed in hiding and resisting immunotherapy
  28.03.2025
  Cutaneous melanoma, the most aggressive form of skin cancer, is characterised by its accumulation of a large number of mutations. Although some of these alterations should be recognised as a threat by our defences, melanomas often escape immune system surveillance. As a result, more than half of patients do not generally respond to current immunotherapies. […]
• CNIO researchers discover a new mechanism for rapid liver regeneration triggered by glutamate
  26.03.2025
  The liver is a vital organ, crucial to digestion, metabolism and the elimination of toxins. It has a unique ability, regeneration, which allows it to replace liver cells damaged by the very toxins that these cells eliminate. However, the liver stops regenerating in cases of diseases that involve chronic liver damage –such as cirrhosis–. Such […]
