Welcome to the web site of the Center for Research in Biological Chemistry and Molecular Materials (CiQUS). Here you will find information about the research areas, groups and scientists that comprise this center, and also about its organization, facilities, services and other data of interest. CiQUS is a member of the Singular Research Centers Network, a core structure of the Campus of International Excellence– Campus Vida project, and it is focused towards the application of transdisciplinary strategies to solve relevant problems in the field of biological chemistry and in the development of novel functional materials.
His admission to the RAC makes him the first full member from the University of Santiago de Compostela in this institution.
Under the leadership of José Luis Mascareñas, the team will focus on the preclinical development of a promising chemical compound aimed at targeting cancer stem cells. The MEDiCS project, awarded €2.5 million in funding, was among 40 projects chosen from 416 proposals submitted in the most recent EIC Transition call in Europe.
The transition in leadership at CiQUS marks the beginning of a new era for the center, already established as a leading hub for research in Chemistry.
