PLANETA 290520L
DÃa0-9:00h: Aterrizaje planeta 29052020L-TIERRA. Viajo en forma acorporal. Decido adoptar una apariencia análoga a los autóctonos. Consulto el Catálogo de formas terrestres-CFT. Existen dos complexiones a elegir: los que no extirpan voluntariamente sus pelos y, sin ser necesariamente más inteligentes, reciben más objetos de papel/metal denominados dinero por su trabajo; y las que expulsan un lÃquido rojo una semana al mes u otro ser humano chiquitÃn con dolor y son peor remuneradas, aunque ejecuten las mismas funciones.
Sin duda, decido personarme en los primeros, denominados hombres. Y me pregunto, ¿quién querrÃa pertenecer a las segundas en este planeta tan extraño?

Key Facts
CIC bioGUNE receives again the Severo Ochoa Center of Excellence in 2022. The purpose of this distinction is to give visibility to research centers, in any scientific area, that demonstrate impact and scientific leadership at an international level and actively collaborate with their social and business environment.
Dr. Arkaitz Carracedo receives the National Margarita Salas Award for Young Scientists in the field of Biology.
The AAALAC (Association for Assessment and Accreditation of Laboratory Animal Care International) accreditation for CIC bioGUNE is renewed and the accreditations of the UNE 166002:2021, ISO 9011:2015 and ISO 13485:2016 standards are maintained.
Agreements and Contracts: The Collaboration Agreement between CIC bioGUNE and the Tekniker Foundation has been renewed for carrying out joint projects on Research, Development and Innovation in biomedical technology.
On April 8, 2022 Bruker Española, S.A. and CIC bioGUNE signed a contract for the acquisition of a superconducting magnet for a NMR spectrometer with a magnetic field of 23.58 Teslas (1 GHz) to focus on Precision Medicine projects.
Osasunberri consortium, which gathers 23 Basque entities, has been created, funded by the Basque Government through the Program for the Promotion of Industrial Competitiveness & Sustainability. Its objective is the search for diagnostic solutions and therapies for the management of future pandemics.
Staff and HR: A new call for the Talent Opportunity Scholarship Program has been launched held, cofunded between the ONCE Foundation and CIC bioGUNE for the hiring of a postdoctoral fellow and a predoctoral fellow
Two new IKERBASQUE Research Fellows have joined the Chemical Glycobiology (Dr. Luca Unione) and Cancer Cell Signaling & Metabolism (Dr. Oihana Iriondo) laboratories.
Dr. Oscar Millet is recognized with the Elhuyar-Goldschmit Award from the German Chemical Society.
New technology-based companies (NEBT): On June 1, 2022, a new spin-off company, ZELULA BIOPHARMA, SL, has been created. Its corporate purpose is research, development, innovation, production, manufacturing, marketing, exploitation, distribution, import and/or export of pharmaceutical, biotechnological and health products, as well as the provision of associated services, with a strong focus on CAR-T therapies.
Diffusion: EUROMAR 2024 conference, the European Magnetic Resonance Meeting, will be hosted by CIC bioGUNE at Bilbao, under the presidency of Dr. Oscar Millet. EUROMAR is the main meeting in the field of NMR worldwide with representation of scientists from the five continents. It covers all aspects of NMR and MRI, including biomedical and clinical applications. The attendance of 1,000 scientists and the presentation of 400 posters are expected.
Funding:
The Ministry of Science and Innovation, through the State Program for Research, Development & Innovation Oriented to the Challenges of Society has granted CIC bioGUNE eight projects for a total amount of €1,966,250.
Moreover, CIC bioGUNE has obtained additional competitive funding through the following calls:
Ministry of Science and Innovation:
- Four "Proofs of Concept" projects.
