A team of researchers from the Hospital del Mar Medical Research Institute has created a model for predicting individual breast cancer risk that could be used to create personalised breast cancer screening strategies. The research, presented at the 13th European Breast Cancer Conference, could make breast screening programmes more effective and ultimately improve survival rates. It could also mean fewer people suffering from 'false positives' (when screening tests indicate cancer, but other tests show there is none) and 'overdiagnosis' (when people are diagnosed and treated for a cancer that is extremely slow growing and has not caused any problems in their lives).

The study, led by Dr. Xavier Nogués, has received one of the two biomedical research grants awarded by this organization, with a total endowment of 650,000 euros. The award ceremony took place in Madrid on December 14. A project to identify the factors that affect the risk of developing a state of fragility, headed by Dr. Xavier Nogués, director of the Clinical Translational Research Program at the Hospital del Mar Medical Research Institute and head of the Internal Medicine Department at the Hospital del Mar, has received one of the two grants for biomedical research awarded by the Francisco Soria Melguizo Foundation. These grants total 650,000 euros and were awarded on December 14 at a ceremony held at the Royal National Academy of Pharmacy in Madrid.

An international collaborative study involving the Hospital del Mar Medical Research Institute and the Hospital del Mar has analyzed data from over 200,000 stroke patients and more than two million control individuals from five different ancestries. This study has associated 89 genes, of which 69 were previously unknown, with stroke and its subtypes. The research provides crucial insights to guide future biological investigations into the processes leading to this condition. Additionally, it reveals that some of these genes could potentially serve as targets for drugs to prevent or treat this disease. It also offers genetic prediction tools, improved and validated for the first time in non-European populations, to guide the development of new drugs.

On 3 November, the 36 projects selected by the La Marató Foundation Board of Trustees, at the proposal of the Scientific Advisory Committee, were made public. Of these, four are led by researchers from Hospital del Mar and the IMIM, and the centres are participating in two others. La Marató de TV3 i Catalunya Ràdio has selected six projects that involve Hospital del Mar and the Hospital del Mar Medical Research Institute. These will receive funding from the La Marató 2021 call for grants, which is dedicated to mental health. In total, 36 proposals from 81 research teams have been selected to receive a share of the more than 12.1 million euros raised in the latest edition of the programme. The IMIM-Hospital del Mar is one of the centres with the most projects selected from the 150 proposals submitted.

This is a study cohort comprising 200,000 people, which will be used to study and improve the health of the Spanish population. Dr. Jordi Alonso, head of the Health Services Research Group at the IMIM-Hospital del Mar, is a member of the project's executive committee, which has just completed its first year of work. The Hospital del Mar Medical Research Institute is one of the 21 Spanish institutions that, together with the National Statistics Institute (INE), form part of the IMPaCT Cohort project. This initiative is aimed at creating a cohort of 200,000 people over the age of fifteen and using them to study and improve the health of the population. The project has been running for a year, and a meeting was held at the end of September, in Alcalá de Henares, to analyse its progress.
