1st FERO-ASEICA Grant – Dr. Cristina Mayor-Ruiz

1st FERO-ASEICA Grant

Dra. Cristina Mayor-Ruiz

Researcher at the Institute for Research in Biomedicine (IRB Barcelona)
PROJECT
Targeted Protein Degradation: drug discovery innovation for cancer treatment
GRANT AMOUNT
€80,000

The research project was awarded the prize thanks to its innovation in the research of new cancer treatments. Until now, cancer drug development has focused on the search for inhibitors to block proteins with accessible cavities; treatments that left out the rest of the cell’s proteins. The IRB Barcelona project seeks to break this barrier and investigate new transformative paradigms in drug development through Targeted Protein Degradation (TPD).
