María Gómez Martínez, PhD Student at CIC biomaGUNE's Radiochemistry and Nuclear Imaging group was awarded Best Oral Communication in the 5th annual young Spanish Molecular Imaging Network (ySMIN) meeting, organised by the European Society for Molecular Imaging, held in Kursaal, Donostia-San Sebastián, on 9th February.  The title of her presentation was: Unravelling the role of L- and D- alanine in prostate cancer: a Positron Emission Tomography study in an orthotopic mouse model. 

The young Spanish molecular imaging network – ySMIN is a pioneering molecular imaging community in Spain that aims to promote the formation of a network of young scientists working in the field of molecular imaging. ySMIN welcomes researchers working in all imaging modalities and offers MSc/PhD students and early career postDocs an easy and friendly entry into the imaging community. In this sense, ySMIN pursues to attract Spanish imaging scientists to the ESMI in order to strengthen the imaging community.
