Dr. Arnau Busquets, coordinator of the Research Group on Cellular Mechanisms in Physiological and Pathological Behavior at the Hospital del Mar Research Institute, has been selected in the Leonardo grants to support science and culture of excellence, awarded by the BBVA Foundation. In total, 58 projects have been selected, 18 of which in Catalonia. The project led by Dr. Busquets, 'Identifying brain circuits involved in emotional recognition', has been one of the six winners in this edition in the category of Biology and Biomedicine. The aim of the project is to identify the specific brain circuits involved in empathy processes that may be involved in complex social deficits observed in some neurodevelopmental disorders or neurodegenerative diseases. To identify them, a specific mouse model and pharmacogenetic techniques will be used.

A study published in Science Advances identifies a set of microproteins that are exclusively produced in liver tumors. This makes them a clear target for immune system cells and a potential target for cancer vaccine development. The research was led by the Evolutionary Genomics Research Group at the Hospital del Mar Research Institute, in collaboration with Cima University of Navarra and Pompeu Fabra University. Various state-of-the-art tools were used to detect and identify these small molecules in samples from over a hundred tumors.

The guide promotes the adoption and acceptance of language that fosters visibility, equality, and representation of all people in the field of health research and aims to avoid situations where language may contain lexicon or forms that invisibilize or discriminate against people, or that reproduce traditional stereotypes. It offers practical recommendations for inclusive language with a gender perspective for its oral, written, and visual forms.
