The solidarity race, which will be held in Logroño on Sunday, April 21, has the collaboration of Arnaut Fiscal & Legal together with the Logroño City Council, the Government of La Rioja, and various relevant sponsors so that the AECC continues investigating.

These research grants in La Rioja were completed in 2023, developing projects worth €400,000. both at the University of La Rioja and at the CIBIR.

In total, La Rioja has 9 active research projects simultaneously. Ángela Metola, thanks to a Predoctoral Grant, studies the impact that alterations in RNA metabolism have on cancer progression.
