President Montilla visits IRB Barcelona

Today the Institute for Research in Biomedicine (IRB Barcelona), headed by Joan J. Guinovart, has announced the set up of the MetCentre, a suprastructure for interdisciplinary research into metastasis, under the scientific coordination of Joan Massagué. Metastasis, that is to say the spread of cancer from the initial tumour to other organs, is responsible for 90% of the deaths caused by cancer. The announcement of the establishment of the centre has been made during a visit by the President of the Government of Catalonia, José Montilla, to IRB Barcelona installations, which are located in the Barcelona Science Park.
