One more step towards early detection of Alzheimer’s

Benedetta Bolognesi, junior group leader at IBEC, appears in different media for a recent study published in the eLife magazine. In the study they show the first map with all the possible mutations in the amyloid beta peptide and tested how they influence its aggregation into plaques, a pathological hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease.

IBEC and the NEN Association join forces against childhood neuroblastoma

The association of “Families and Friends of Children with Neuroblastoma” (NEN) and IBEC sign a collaboration agreement to search for new therapeutic markers for this type of cancer, through the generation of models based on engineering techniques. The project will be led by Dr. Áranzazu Vilasante, IBEC researcher.
