The project on neuroblastoma led by Elisa Martí Gorostiza, a researcher at the Institute of Molecular Biology of Barcelona-CSIC and the Catalan Biotechnology Reference Network (XRB), has received one of the three grants for research projects on childhood cancer funded by the Spanish Association Against Cancer (AECC). The 150,000 € grant, obtained with the collaboration of the XRB, will be managed by the FBG. Neuroblastoma is the most common childhood cancer during the first year of infancy and presents a low cure rate (below 40%) in high-risk cases. It originates in the transient embryonic cells of the neural crest, and its clinical course is unique and enigmatic.
