past weekend, while the G20 was meeting in Washington was taking place one of those games that end up being studied in history books, and if not, certainly in science. And yes it was Spain by law.
Our country, along with seven other countries around the world, just to establish the International Consortium Cancer Genome, a research project on the genomics of the tumors more ambitious than has taken place. Spain's mission is to sequence the entire genome of more than 500 patients suffering from chronic lymphocytic leukemia compared with the map already available human genome to characterize the molecular basis that predispose an individual to this disease, which affects 15 per 100,000 population per year.
project coordinator in our country will be the researcher Elias Campo, Hospital Clinic of Barcelona, \u200b\u200bhe hopes, within a maximum of five years with an investment of just over 10 million euros, have characterized a genetic map for leukemia. The results obtained by our country and the rest of the countries of the project will be published on the internet, so that a free way to access it both public and private companies.
Undoubtedly, in these times, news like this are a joy. And knowing that we are there, that research from our country brings its bit to promote this ambitious project, a source of satisfaction.
