Recipients of prestigious international awards and projects as a result of their scientific work carried out mainly at The Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) in Sweden, where they come from, María Cuartero (Espinardo, Murcia) and Gastón Crespo (Buenos Aires) will lead UCAM-SENS, the first sensor chemistry centre in Europe, created by the UCAM president at HiTech.
Miguel Ángel López, UCAM Olympic athlete and current European champion in the 35km walk, took part in a demonstration of physical performance in which the participants learned how an elite athlete prepares himself
The scientific team led by Juan Carlos Izpisua, professor of Developmental Biology at UCAM, has discovered a type of RNA which accumulates in the cell nucleus of people who suffer from premature ageing or progeria. Blocking this RNA reverses the symptoms of this disease and prolongs lifespan in mice.
Using this equipment, research which will enable innovation in different therapies will be conducted. Among application fields we can find sports medicine, radiotherapy oncology, neuroscience, respiratory insufficiency, musculoskeletal pathology, wound healing and pain.
Using cellular reprogramming, the team of researchers led by the UCAM Professor of Developmental Biology has managed to rejuvenate mice without generating tumours or any other health related problems. The study is published in the scientific journal Nature Aging
