Projects
Thank you to our funders (Generalitat Valenciana, Ministeri Espanyol de Ciencia i Investigacio, Academy of Medical Sciences and Teesside University) we are developing exciting projects!
Targeting actin protrusions
This is a National Funding Program from the Spanish Government to support a 4-year fellowship for a PhD Student - Irene Olivas Cano - who will perform her PhD in our lab at the CIPF.
Flipping the coin: 'Actin' for good - Targeting actin protrusion in invasion (FLIP-ACTIN)
Sponsor:
Ministeri de Ciència i Innovació – Agencia Estatal de Investigació del Ministeri Espanyol
This is a National Funding Program from the Spanish Government. Thanks to this funding, our Group at the CIPF in Valencia can start a new research Project related to how to stop cancer Cell invasion and further investigate mechanisms related to cell migration and invasion linked to metabolism. This funding includes support for a Research Assistant and a 4-year fellowship for a PhD Student!
Towards understanding the molecular basis of colorectal cancer in young adults
Sponsor:
Generalitat Valenciana. Conselleria d’ Innovacio, Universitats, Ciencia ISocietat Digital
This is a highly competitive Regional program to cover salary for a PhD Student, Rabe’ah Almhassenh. She will perform her PhD in our lab at the CIPF in Valencia Spain
Intramural fellowships
Sponsor:
CIPF
The CIPF has awarded several students from our lab with an Intramural Fellowship to furtherdevelop their skills. These fellowships has allowed several students to perform workshopsabroad (in academic institutions such as Institut Curier in Paris orin companies such asProtoQSAR 2000 SL
Cytoskeletal Coordination mediated by the tumor suppressor Adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) in collective cell migration
Sponsor:
Generalitat Valenciana. Conselleria d’ Innovacio, Universitats, Ciencia ISocietat Digital
This is a highly competitive Regional program for Returning Excellent Talent to Spain, similar to the Ramon y Cajal funding from the Spanish Government. Thanks to this funding, Dr MA Juanes came back to Spain in 2022 (after 14 years from her PhD) to set up her new research group as a Group Leader at the Centro de Investigacion Principe Felipe (CIPF) in Valencia Spain

Sponsor:
Academy of Medical Science (AMS), United Kingdom
This funder awarded to Dr Mari Juanes with a highly competitive Springboard Award which offers a bespoke package of support to outstanding Early career Biomedical Researchers whose innovative projects have a real-world impact. Thanks to this, Dr Juanes built her own (and first) lab at the National Horizons Centre, a facility from Teesside University in the UK in 2021.
Investigation and modelling of cytoskeletal activity in APC mutated bowel cancer
Sponsor:
Teesside University, School of Health and Life Sciences United Kingdom
