CIC biomaGUNE, is leading two "Marie Curie" projects, which are European training and professional development projects for researchers in highly scientific fields such as glycoscience, which studies carbohydrates, and the development of hybrid materials for controlled drug release. The centre is also taking part actively in another project linked to a molecule called TLR4.
These European training and exchange projects for researchers aim to find new ways of scientifically approaching autoimmune diseases, allergies, cancer and the new developments in materials and nanomanufacturing.
The three projects have secured more than 8 million euros in funding, of which just over 1.8 million will be allocated to the San Sebastian research centre. The projects are being developed as part of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie actions, the EU Framework Programme for Research and Innovation, which is considered to be the most important EU training programme for PhD students.
