Contexto y objetivos
La investigación fundamental es indispensable para llegar con el paso del tiempo a aplicaciones clínicas. A veces centrada en los mecanismos de una enfermedad concreta, otras veces explorando sin ninguna aplicación en mente, el simple conocimiento de cómo funcionan nuestras células puede resultar en el posterior desarrollo de medicamentos que salven vidas.
Las asociaciones de pacientes, cada una con su problemática específica, más aún en el caso de aquellas enfermedades denominadas raras por su escasa frecuencia, realizan una gran labor social de guía, apoyo y reivindicación de situaciones muchas veces difíciles. Estas asociaciones hacen además un seguimiento cercano de las investigaciones en marcha, e incluso las impulsan.
Esta jornada es una propuesta de encuentro entre las asociaciones de pacientes y personas dedicadas a la investigación, con motivo de la celebración de la 2a Conferencia Severo Ochoa «Ligating the Ubiquitin Family: Physiology, Disease, and Future Directions» que tendrá lugar en Bilbao el 24 y 25 de Junio, organizada por la Sociedad Española de Bioquímica y Biología Molecular, SEBBM, en colaboración con la Fundación Carmen y Severo Ochoa.
