The transversal nature of the research carried out by the group and its members, together with the encouraging results they have recently obtained, has earned them the $100,000 that go with the Landon Foundation - AACR award. This money will go to funding part of the genomic studies headed by the group and to facilitating access to congresses and training periods abroad for the group members.

The American Association of Cancer Research has awarded Dr. Josep Maria Llovet of the IDIBAPS Liver Cancer team with the 2009 Landon Foundation - AACR INNOVATOR Award for International Collaboration in Cancer Research. This prestigious award provides funding for large lines of collaborative research in cancer.
The translational research group led by Dr. Llovet is a paradigm of collaboration in network, as it takes part in many initiatives, such as the CIBER on Liver and Digestive Diseases (CIBERehd) and the HCC Genomic Project international consortium. Dr. Llovet himself combines his responsibilities as professor of ICREA research at the IDIBAPS and as director of the HCC Research Program at Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York.
