At the IGTP TODAY
The European project BT4ChildLC, led by IGTP, has advanced precision medicine for childhood liver cancer by combining large-scale biological data with innovative preclinical models to identify new biomarkers and therapeutic strategies. The results provide a strong foundation for future international studies and highlight the importance of collaboration in advancing research into rare paediatric cancers.
For the fourth consecutive year, researchers from IGTP are taking part in the #científiques initiative, bringing science closer to schools and creating female role models in the framework of the International Day of Women and Girls in Science (11 February).
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.
