Platforms
Bioinformatics Platform
Coordinator:
Juanjo Lozano Salvatella
The Bioinformatics platform is taking an active part in the operation of this CIBER, as can be
seen by the 15 publications issued as a result
of its support during 2018. The most relevant publication is connected with the mechanism for action of immunosuppressants in the field of liver transplants, in which a project from the “Marató”, led by our group, as part of an international collaboration scheme, was published:
Through its Training Plan the CIBEREHD also sponsored the Postgraduate Course of the Asociación Española para el Estudio del Hígado (AEEH) and that of the Asociación Española
de Gastroenterología (AEG), which are held coinciding with the annual congress of both associations.
Emerging:
Execution period 2 years. The amount of the grant is 40,000 €, spread over two yearly payments.
Marta Varela. Project: “Long Non-Coding RNAs signature as a clinically relevant diagnostic and prognostic tool in liver fibrosis”.
Ana Blas. Project: “Identification of new pharmacological targets for hepatic fibrosis: regulation of signalling routes Jak-STAT1 and Jak- STAT3”
