CNIC researchers receive AECC funding for their projects

Three CNIC (Spanish National Centre for Cardiovascular Research) researchers have been awarded funding by the AECC (the Spanish Association Against Cancer) in its 2024 call for projects aimed to boost immunotherapy research and the training of young scientists.

David Sancho received an AECC 2024 General Projects award of 295,500 euros. His project focuses on the development of a new strategy to strengthen antitumour immune response based on stimulation of the interaction between cells of the immune system.

Fidel-Nicolás Lolo Romero is the recipient of AECC 2024 funding for research to the amount of 200,000 euros for his study on tumour immune infiltration, which is key to improve the effectiveness of immunotherapy treatments against cancer.

Thirdly, Adrián Belinchón was awarded 1,143.82 euros from the AECC 2024 Programme for Summer Laboratory Internship, an initiative aimed at training young scientists.

This support strengthens CNIC and the AECC’s commitment to research, promoting scientific progress that can improve treatments and open the door to novel therapeutic approaches to cancer.
