The Director General of Universities, Research and Innovation of the Junta de Comunidades de Castilla-La Mancha.

The Director General of Universities, Research and Innovation of the Junta de Comunidades de Castilla-La Mancha, Ricardo Cuevas, visited us at the Neurodeath Unit at the Castilla-La Mancha University.

Both the in vivo recording unit for small animals as well as the inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry analytical unit are located in the laboratory of the Neurodeath Associated Unit of the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Castilla-La Mancha.

  • During the visit, the Director General was accompanied by the Vice-Rector for Research at the University of Castilla-La Mancha, Antonio Mas, and the main researcher of the project in Castilla-La Mancha, Valentín Ceña, who explained to Cuevas the applications and profits of the team, as well as the current state of development of the research project.
  • The equipment has been acquired with the funds obtained within the Complementary Health Plans in the project: “Development of tools for diagnosis, prognosis and advanced or directed therapies in personalized medicine.”

We present the NANO4Glio project in Madeira.

  Through it, a new therapeutic approach for glioblastoma is developed based on using RNAi technology (more specifically siRNA) to reduce the cellular levels of proteins involved in the survival and proliferation of tumor cells.
