The researcher from the Hospital del Mar Research Institute has been honored with the CRIS Program for Translational Medical Talent. The award ceremony took place on April 11 during the CRIS 2025 Scientific Symposium, held in Madrid.

Dr. Jenniffer Linares, a researcher with the Colorectal Cancer Precision Medicine Research Group at the Hospital del Mar Research Institute, has received the CRIS Program for Translational Medical Talent, awarded by the CRIS Against Cancer Foundation. A total of 11 million euros in funding has been granted through the CRIS Research Programs 2024, with the aim of promoting cancer research that places the patient at the center of scientific advancement.

The awarded project, "Uncovering the Clinical Impact of Stromal-Derived Mechanisms of Resistance to Anti-EGFR Therapy in Colorectal Cancer," seeks to understand the mechanisms of resistance to anti-EGFR therapies derived from the tumor microenvironment in patients with RAS wild-type metastatic colorectal cancer. The goal is to identify predictive markers and develop new therapeutic strategies to overcome these mechanisms. The project will receive funding of 400,000 euros.

The awards were presented during CRIS Science Day 2025, which included the CRIS Scientific Symposium focused on cancer biomarkers and personalized therapies. The symposium featured world-renowned specialists and the participation of patients in the scientific decision-making process.
