This year, we have experienced particularly significant moments. The renewal of our accreditation by the Carlos III Health Institute has been one of the most important milestones — a recognition that not only certifies the quality of our research but also highlights the strength of our management and, above all, the excellent human environment that characterises IBiS. Likewise, our inclusion in excellence programmes such as that of the AECC Foundation or the Aspira-MaX Seal of the CSIC places us in a leading position within the national research network, opening up new opportunities for collaboration and for making a real impact on patients’ health.
