🏆🧠 Un investigador de INiBICA obtiene la Beca Dr. Albert para investigar nuevos tratamientos del párkinson 🧠🏆 - INiBICA

🏆🧠 An INiBICA researcher has been awarded the Dr. Albert Fellowship to conduct research on new treatments for Parkinson's disease 🧠🏆

Esta beca, convocada por el Instituto de Especialidades Neurológicas (IENSA), es la más importante de carácter privado que se concede en España en neurociencia El doctor Javier J. González Rosa, del Instituto de Investigación e Innovación Biomédica de Cádiz (INiBICA), ha obtenido la ‘Beca Dr. Albert’ en su edición 2022 para desarrollar una investigación sobre el uso potencial de biomarcadores cerebrales para demostrar la eficacia de nuevos tratamientos de los síntomas motores de pacientes con Parkinson. Convocada por el Instituto de Especialidades Neurológicas (IENSA), esta beca es la más importante de carácter privado que se concede en España en el campo de la neurociencia. El proyecto ha sido elegido por un jurado de especialistas de IENSA entre una docena de trabajos aspirantes y tiene como título ‘Nuevos biomarcadores multimodales de neurodegeneración y neuroplasticidad en pacientes con enfermedad de Parkinson tratados con estimulación theta-burst intermitente: un estudio doble ciego, aleatorizado, controlado con placebo’. La beca, cuyo acto de entrega está previsto para mediados del próximo mes de mayo en Sevilla, cuenta con una dotación económica de 7.500 euros y tiene como objetivo reconocer y promover la investigación clínica en cualquier área de las neurociencias. La persona becada podrá desarrollar en IENSA su estudio, que concluirá con la presentación de resultados y el envío a una publicación especializada. Javier J. González Rosa, doctor en Psicología por la Universidad de Sevilla, ha sido investigador Ramón y Cajal y es actualmente profesor titular en la Universidad de Cádiz. Especializado en neurociencia cognitiva y clínica, es además jefe del grupo de investigación de Psicofisiología y Neuroimagen del Instituto de Investigación e Innovación Biomédica de Cádiz (INiBICA). Entre las principales líneas de trabajo y de interés del doctor González Rosa, se encuentran la estimulación cerebral humana mediante técnicas invasivas (estimulación cerebral profunda-DBS) y no invasivas (estimulación magnética transcraneal-TMS), así como el empleo de métodos avanzados de mapeo cerebral (registros intracraneales LFP, EEG, fMRI) y el análisis de neuroimagen cerebral estructural en pacientes neurológicos, particularmente con Parkinson o con esclerosis múltiple. La enfermedad de Parkinson -segunda patología neurodegenerativa con mayor incidencia a nivel mundial- se caracteriza principalmente por la presencia de síntomas motores incapacitantes, que pueden abordarse con terapias farmacológicas y de otro tipo, como la estimulación cerebral profunda, aunque no todos los pacientes responden de manera óptima a estos tratamientos o pueden ser candidatos a ellos. Tratamiento de los síntomas motores: El doctor Javier J. González Rosa expone en su investigación que “un tratamiento con el potencial de mejorar los síntomas motores de la enfermedad es la estimulación intermente theta-burst (iTBS), una modalidad de estimulación magnética transcraneal repetitiva (rTMS), la cual permite modular la excitabilidad cortical y cuyos efectos terapéuticos persisten más allá de la propia sesión de estimulación”. Así, plantea que se ha demostrado que este abordaje mejora los síntomas motores, si bien “se sabe poco respecto a los mecanismos cerebrales responsables tanto de estos beneficios clínicos como del mantenimiento de los síntomas patológicos”. En este sentido, explica que “aunque recientes investigaciones han intentado encontrar biomarcadores cerebrales a nivel estructural o funcional que ayuden a entenderlos, existe una gran discrepancia sobre su verdadero papel”. Búsqueda de biomarcadores: Con el estudio becado por IENSA, para el que se evaluará y tratará a un total de 20 pacientes con enfermedad de Parkinson, se pretende abordar esta cuestión “mediante la combinación de biomarcadores obtenidos en sangre y con técnicas de neuroimagen para obtener, de esta forma, un perfil de integridad del daño cerebral, tanto a nivel micro como macroestructural, así como un patrón de excitabilidad y de conectividad funcional cerebral”, según subraya Javier J. González Rosa. A juicio del investigador, este trabajo ayudará a “comprender los mecanismos cerebrales implicados en la mejoría clínica de pacientes de Parkinson tratados con rTMS y su relación para promover patrones de neuroprotección”, con el objetivo final, añade, “de mejorar la calidad asistencial” a los enfermos mediante el empleo rutinario de esta terapia. 🔗 Más información: La Voz Digital || Junta de Andalucía

👩‍🔬✨ Ana Villaescusa, protagonista de la investigación biomédica en INiBICA ✨👩‍🔬 - INiBICA

👩‍🔬✨ Ana Villaescusa, a leading figure in biomedical research at INiBICA ✨👩‍🔬

This school year, thanks to Diverciencia and the Algeciras Technology Campus Foundation, we are privileged to offer a new research scholarship for second-year high school students at the Institute for Biomedical Research and Innovation (INiBICA) at Cádiz. This was a long-standing initiative that, three years ago, was derailed by the pandemic. The guidelines for this fellowship remained on our computers, waiting for better times. Now that we have reestablished contact with this institution, we will soon be offering it again so that a student from one of our schools can benefit from it this summer. INiBICA was established in 2016 through a collaboration agreement between several institutions, including the Regional Ministries of Health and Knowledge of the Andalusian Regional Government and the University of Cádiz. The Institute integrates research, innovation, and teaching activities in biomedicine from the centers of the Andalusian Public Health System in the province of Cádiz —including both primary care and hospital settings—and the University of Cádiz. Since the Institute began operating as an integrated entity in 2019, primarily with funding from the Integrated Territorial Initiative (ITI), INiBICA has laid the foundations for a provincial collaborative structure, featuring pioneering facilities and teams spread across various healthcare and university centers, where university and clinical research are developed and integrated to address society’s health challenges. It has six active scientific programs to which some 80 research groups have been affiliated to generate knowledge and solutions in areas such as neuroscience, oncology, epidemiology, and public health. This knowledge is not only shared through scientific Publications , but also serves to improve healthcare by updating protocols and clinical practice guidelines, as well as generating Patents so that the industry—and potentially companies based in Cádiz—can develop products and services. Among its strategies for innovation and social commitment, it is worth highlighting the promotion of partnerships with industry to bring new therapies to the province through clinical trials, the retention of talent, and the revitalization of the province’s business community. Medical research has been strengthened in recent years by advances in biology, biochemistry, and other basic sciences such as physics and computer science. Hence the need for so-called “biomedical research” to discover and develop new diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, as well as prevention strategies through the integration of various disciplines. Cádiz, home to Spain’s oldest School of Medicine, is no bad place for this initiative. Don’t you think? 🔗 More information: Europa Sur
