“Research gives life” was the motto of both the 2018 television marathon La Marató de 3Cat and of the 96 cancer research teams. That edition of La Marató saw the highest investment in research in its history thanks to a historical indicator that exceeded €15 million, over €2 million of which went to IDIBAPS projects.
Led by the journalist Gemma Nierga, the social return event thanked the public and brought together the 96 research teams of the 43 projects involved that were funded by the donations from that edition. The report on all the projects is available at this link.
Of the 43 awarded projects, 10 have been led by IDIBAPS researchers and three others have involved IDIBAPS in some way. Below is the list of projects carried out with IDIBAPS researchers:
