Highlights
During this period, the group has kept a stable structure, which is currently inte-
grated by 57 persons (7 PIs, and 10 postdocs). A main study in Spain is the MCC-

Sp study within CIBERESP that is co-coordinated by the group and that is among
the largest population based cancer studies in Spain evaluating common cancers

(prostate, breast, colorectal, stomach and chronic lymphocytic leukaemias) and

including 10,137 subjects enrolled in 12 provinces. The group has implemented a
wide international research portfolio leading 4 International projects (PHENOTY-

PE, GERONIMO, MOBI-KIDS, INTEROCC) and having a key role in 10 EU funded

projects including EPI-CT, EXPOSOMICS, HELIX. The research output in this period
(2013) includes 86 research papers in PubMed. There is very close collaboration

with numerous groups in the area of epidemiology, exposure assessment and la-
boratory work in Spain (CSIC, CRG, ISCIII, CNIO) and internationally (NCI, USA,

INSERM, France, Imperial College, London, IRAS, Utrecht). Communication is an

important aspects of the groups work through press releases, news in our website
and social media. The work of the group has a significant impact in the mass media

(press, TV, radio, online publications) that published more 250 articles referring

to research from the group. The group has an active community outreach activity
involving regular school visits and frequent participation in open activities in the

community. Postgraduate teaching is mostly in the Master of Public Health, UPF
but also in other national and international courses. During 2013, three doctoral

theses directed by members of the group were successfully defended. Members of

the group participate in several national or international expert committees such 13
as IARC Monographs on the Evaluation of Carcinogenic Risks to Humans and are 20
T
members of the editorial boards of journals such as Environmental Health Pers- OR
P
pectives and occupational Environmental Medicine.
