The study, published in Nature Communications, develops a new cellular model that reproduces the progression of NF1-associated tumours and enables the identification of new therapeutic opportunities.
IGTP will coordinate INTERACT-NF, a new European COST Action that will bring together 68 researchers from 13 countries to advance research on neurofibromatosis and schwannomatosis. The network will foster collaboration between researchers, clinicians and patient organisations to address the main challenges associated with these rare diseases.
The CMCiB co-organised a Cafè GIPS this Wednesday focusing on the challenges and opportunities posed by alternative models to animal experimentation in biomedical research. The session brought together professionals from research, bioengineering, innovation and industry with the aim of sharing experiences and perspectives on new approaches aligned with the 3Rs framework.
The III CARE Annual Meeting, held on 5 December at BCIN, brought together the cancer research community of the Can Ruti Campus for a day focused on scientific dialogue, interdisciplinarity and future strategy.
The Germans Trias i Pujol University Hospital and Research Institute welcomed patients and families from several European countries as part of the NF Academy 2025, an event organised by Neurofibromatosis Patients United together with the ACNEFI to train and empower young people living with NF1, NF2-SWN and SWN.

Fundación "la Caixa" is offering 30 fellowships to researchers of all nationalities who wish to pursue official PhD studies in STEM disciplines at research centres and centres of excellence in Spain and Portugal. IGTP is open to hosting students under this program, who will have the opportunity to join one of IGTP's research groups and carry out their PhD research in their area of interest.
Nearly 200 baccalaureate and vocational training students from the Badalona institutes visited the centres at the Can Ruti Campus. The event "Open House, get to know the Can Ruti Campus up close", organised by the Badalona Education Service and IGTP, in coordination with other institutions on the Campus, has become a flagship initiative of the Science Week.
The second CARE Workshop, held on 9-10 October, brought together more than 70 researchers from across the cancer research community at the Can Ruti Biomedical Campus for two days of scientific exchange. The event served as a platform for sharing the current cancer research being developed on the Campus and fostering stronger connections among researchers.
On 7 February, "#100tífiques" returned for its sixth edition, a macro-event that has become a benchmark for advocacy within the Catalan female research community and schools. Expanding on last year's participant numbers, thirteen scientists from IGTP took part in this event.
