58 CIBER Annual report 2019
Training Programme
Coordinator: Ángel Nadal Navajas
As the main novelty of theTraining Programme in 2019, CIBERDEM has awarded three intramural projects for young researchers, in which seven CIBERDEM groups participate. It is noteworthy that, of the seven groups, six are led by young women researchers. The first Meeting of Young Researchers, organised by and for young people, took place within the framework of the Annual Meeting on November 6 and had the participation of 78 young researchers.
The Mobility Grants Programme has continued to finance stays in CIBER groups and international groups, with a total of seven grants awarded.
The 10th Annual CIBERDEM Meeting was held on November 7-8, in which more than 160 CIBERDEM researchers partici- pated and 89 communications were presented. A symposium was held to present the results of the INFLAMES project (Identification of novel modulators of chronic inflammation in prevalent diseases: unveiling divergent mechanisms of diseases), which included the participation of researchers from CIBEROBN and CIBEREHD. The participation of the groups and discussion of results was very active, both in oral presentations and in poster sessions.
In the context of the various training activities that CIBERDEM organises in collaboration with Merck Sharp & Dohme España, this year the Annual Symposium “La diabetes a debate 2019: Diabetes in the Knowledge Frontier” had as its central themes the association between diabetes and cancer, and the implications of glycemic variability in type 2 diabetes.
Within the framework of the collaboration with the Spanish Diabetes Society (SED), CIBERDEM has organised for the second year the joint SED-CIBERDEM Symposium at the XXX SED National Congress. The Symposium focused on research on mitochondrial dynamics and metabolic disruption, on the role of long non-coding RNA in pancreatic beta cell destruction in type 1 diabetes and on hidden cardiovascular risk in patients with diabetes.
CIBERDEM has organised the second edition of the Expert Postgraduate Course at the University of Barcelona 2019- 2020 “Chronic complications of Diabetes Mellitus,” with 15 European ECTS credits, and 178 persons enrolled.
The CIBERDEM groups have been extremely active organising scientific activities, congresses, courses, symposia, se- minars and debates, in Spain and abroad, and in collaboration with other CIBER areas. We highlight the participation in the Inter-CIBER Interdisciplinary Course: Immunoterapia, más allá de la prescripción.Un reto para todos. (April 5).
