Race of the Cities Run in support of pancreatic cancer!

We celebrate the 10th edition of La Carrera de las Ciudades! for more pancreatic cancer research. At ALIPANC we support the initiative! A new edition of the charity race will soon take place, with the purpose of raising funds for pancreatic cancer research. This year is very special, as we celebrate its 10th anniversary. Since 2015, this initiative has raised awareness of the disease, bringing together numerous participants in various cities who run with enthusiasm for the cause. All funds raised will go to the Carmen Delgado / Miguel Pérez Mateo Scholarships, focused on basic and clinical research on pancreatic cancer. The promoting associations: AESPANC, ACANPAN and AEG, and also from ALIPANC we emphasize that through research it will be possible to advance in the knowledge, management and treatment of this disease, thus improving the hope and quality of life of patients.

There are several of us Alliance researchers who will go to the Race! Save the date and the cities that will host it:

Successful first scientific meeting of ALIPANC

Successful first scientific meeting of ALIPANC

The first scientific meeting of ALIPANC, organized by Alejo Efeyan (CNIO) took place on March 5, 2024 at the CNIO, with the attendance of 120 researchers from 36 groups distributed throughout Spain.

After a brief introduction by Núria Malats, the Opening Conference was given by Mariano Barbacid (CNIO) who presented his group’s studies aimed at inhibiting KRAS signaling in pancreatic cancer. Subsequently, 15 presentations were given by 15 groups on translational and clinical aspects of pancreatic cancer, followed by rounds of questions with a large participation. The day ended with a Closing Conference, given by Paco Sánchez-Madrid (Hospital de la Princesa, UAM and CNIC) who summarized the most important contributions of his group to the knowledge of the biology of the immunological synapse. The scientific discussions were also extended during the coffee breaks and lunches, fostering collaborations between the ALIPANC groups.

After this successful 1st scientific meeting, all that remains is to start working on the preparation of the 2nd meeting, the date and place of which will be discussed soon at the ALIPANC Management Committee.
