The IGTP receives the HR Excellence in Research Award
On 22 August the IGTP received the HR Excellence in Research Award (HRS4R) from the European Commission (EC). “This is excellent news,” Dr Manel Puig, director of the IGTP tells us. “I am particularly pleased that we can be identified as a centre of excellence in Europe and achieving this is a sign of all the hard work the scientific and administrative management teams have been putting in on this aspect over the past 6 years.” “Receiving the award means we are well on our way to completing the accreditation process,” explains Montserrat Gonzalez Girol, Head of Human Resources.
The Centre for Comparative Medicine and Bioimage (CMCiB) now forms part of the Working Group on European 3Rs Centres. This literally puts it on the map, for European 3Rs Research and it has been included in the Norwegian NORECOPA website, which is currently the largest resource on European 3rs Research available. The Working Group is preparing the setting up of a European 3Rs Center Network to promote and facilitate ethical research.

Presentation of the Project “Fats and Cancer” at the Gastronomy Fair at Cabrils
Researchers from the research project "Fats and Cancer" took part in the 32nd Cabrils Gastronomy Fair in August. The project is a collaboration between professionals from the Catalan Institute of Oncology (ICO) and the Germans Trias Pujol Hospital and Research Institute and will educate and find funding through the fundraising organization "Amics de Can Ruti" (the Friends of Can Ruti). The aim is to raise awareness about the need for new horizons in cancer research and for cancer patients and the connection between the metabolism of fats in the body and the appearance and evolution of cancer.
