Highlights

CIC bioGUNE investigators obtain two new ERC Grants in 2019:

  • ERC Consolidator Grant - Arkaitz Carracedo. CancerADAPT - Targeting the adaptive capacity of prostate cancer through the manipulation of transcriptional and metabolic traits.
  • ERC Starting Grant - Asis Palazon. NextGen IO - Exploiting the hypoxia response in T cells for Next-Generation Immuno-Oncology.

One new lab (Precision Medicine & Metabolism) is created by merging two of the existing ones.

Two new research groups (Cancer Immunology & Immunotherapy and Computational Chemistry) join CIC bioGUNE.

CIC bioGUNE publish more than 180 publications in 2019. More than 30% of them display an Impact factor above 10. The average IF in 2019 reaches 8. CIC publications are cited more than 5000 times in 2019.

A new IVDR NMR 600 MHz spectrometer is purchased to further support the NMR ICTS and extend the NMR & Metabolomics projects developed at CIC bioGUNE.

CIC bioGUNE is recognized within the top 100 NPO/NGO Institutions worldwide (position 62) in Life Sciences, according to Nature Index.

Competitive funding at CIC bioGUNE reaches 66% of total funding. Private funding goes beyond 35% of total funding.
