Our predoctoral student, Ariana Rueda, has traveled to China for a 3-month internship at the laboratory of Professors Peng Chen and Xingyuan Fan, as part of her international PhD program. The Protein Chemical Biology and Bioorthogonal Chemistry Laboratory is located within the College of Chemistry and Molecular Engineering at Peking University in Beijing, China. During her stay, Ariana will focus on the recombinant […]
Our PhD student Lourdes Arena participated as a volunteer in the organization of the RESI Europe conference, held in Barcelona on April 1st. This opportunity arose through ABSTEC (the Association of Biotechnologists of Catalonia), of which both Lourdes and several members of our ULAB laboratory are members. The Redefining Every Stage of Investment (RESI) Conference,
Our predoctoral researcher, Lourdes Ailen Arena, has been awarded the prestigious INPhINIT 2024 predoctoral fellowship by the “la Caixa” Foundation. The ceremony took place at the main auditorium of the CosmoCaixa Museum, with the presence of various authorities, including Emilia Jordi (Director of the “la Caixa” Educational and Scholarship Area), Àngel Font (Executive Director of the CaixaResearch Institute), and Josep Tabernero (Director of the Vall d’Hebron
Our team has participated in the first meeting of all Spanish CIBER groups, held this year in Valencia to celebrate CIBER’s 10th anniversary. Dr. Unzueta, co-PI of our CIBER-BBN group, presented our work on “Rational Design of Multivalent Protein Nanoconjugates for Precision Drug Delivery in CXCR4+ Tumors.” CIBER (Centro de Investigación Biomédica en Red) is
Our project, “targeted nanoimmunotherapy against CXCR4+ leukaemic stem cells” has been awarded in the first edition of Miquel Ruttlant research grants, granted by Fundació Investigació Salut i Progress (FISP). This project focuses on the development of a new personalized therapeutic strategy based on nanoimmunotherapy for the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The innovative approach combines
