Diego Baranda Martínez-Abasca

I did my Bachelor in Biology at the UIB and I subsequently studied the Master's in Molecular Biotechnology at the University of Barcelona (UB). Before arriving at the VHIR I had an internship contract at the Institute of BioEngineering of Catalonia (IBEC) and I carried out a research stay at the Institute of Molecular Biology of Barcelona (IBMB - Spanish National Research Council, CSIC). The obtention of a University Teacher Training grant (FPU) allowed me to join the VHIR in order to carry out my doctoral thesis in the Drug Delivery and Targeting group. My project is based on the development of an alternative therapy for pancreatic cancer using genetically modified extracellular vesicles (EVs). I'm also working on other projects that pursue the development of the use of EVs for the treatment of minority diseases. In addition, I continue my training with the doctoral courses of the UB and I participate in scientific dissemination activities organized by the VHIR, among other things. Thanks for your interest :)

The meeting was an opportunity to get to know projects from both institutions and to promote interaction between professionals.

The European Rare Diseases Research Alliance (ERDERA) kicked off this September, with an estimated budget of 380 million euros and the aim of improving the lives of 30 million rare disease patients in Europe and beyond.

Using computed tomography (CT), with or without contrast, it is possible to perform an accurate and safe detection of the disease without the need for biopsies and avoiding the limitations of other non-invasive diagnostic tools.
