On January 17, 2019, the Institute of Biomedicine of Seville - IBiS - had the visit of Sir Paul Nurse, Nobel Prize winner in Medicine or Physiology in 2001 for his discoveries of protein molecules that control the division of cells in the cellular cycle. Professor Nurse heads the Francis Crick Institute, Europe's largest biomedical research centre.
During his visit, Sir Paul held various working meetings with researchers from our Institute and learned first-hand about the research activity carried out in the field of Translational Medicine.
Professor López Barneo, as director of the IBiS, presented him with the diploma that accredits him as “IBiS Distinguished Investigator”, a distinction that our Institute dedicates to top-level scientists.
