Investigadores del CNB-CSIC participan en la coalición internacional Covid19-MS para seguir los tratamientos y efectos del SARS-CoV2 en sangre de pacientes infectados
  • La coalición COVID19-MS cuenta con más de 500 científicos de 18 países que compartirán datos sobre COVID-19 obtenidos mediante técnicas de espectrometría de masas que examinan la sangre en busca de biomarcadores para el mejor tratamiento de los pacientes.

La nueva coalición COVID-19 MS, coordinada desde la Universidad de Manchester, está formada por los principales expertos en espectrometría de masas del mundo. Su objetivo es la puesta en común de los avances que permitan refinar las aproximaciones experimentales y las opciones de tratamiento, determinar los requisitos de aislamiento y acelerar los requisitos de medidas en nuevos programas de desarrollo terapéutico tanto para COVID-19 como en futuras amenazas. El anuncio de la nueva coalición se ha hecho a traves de una carta publicada en la revista The Lancet.

Carlos Martínez Alonso, nuevo integrante del Comité Identificador del Consejo Europeo de Investigación (ERC)

Carlos Martínez Alonso, ex director del CNB, formará parte del Comité internacional de expertos que selecciona a los miembros del Consejo Científico del Consejo Europeo de Investigación (European Research Council).

Martínez Alonso es uno de los seis científicos de alto nivel nombrados la semana pasada por Mariya Gabriel, comisaria europea de Investigación, Innovación, Cultura, Educación y Juventud para integrar el Comité de Identificación que selecciona a los futuros miembros del Consejo Científico del ERC. El Consejo Científico del ERC es el órgano encargado de definir su estrategia y sus metodologías de financiación de la ciencia. Se compone de 22 destacados científicos y académicos que representan a la comunidad científica europea y promueven la investigación innovadora y la creatividad. Su mandato está limitado a cuatro años, renovables una única vez. 

A través de los chats, los estudiantes han conocido en qué se centra su investigación. Alberto Fernández utiliza microscopios para descubrir cómo funcionan y cambian las células infectadas por un virus, y, de esta forma, selecciona nuevos medicamentos antivirales. Entre las numerosas preguntas que ha recibido, destacan: ¿Se puede extinguir un virus?, ¿de qué color es el ADN?, ¿por qué los virus, que no son seres vivos, son tan peligrosos para las personas?, ¿el aire está contaminado por el COVID-19? o, ¿cuál es el virus más peligroso que has estudiado?

El CSIC recibe 250.000 euros de Ferrovial para impulsar la búsqueda de vacunas contra Covid-19

La financiación apoyará los proyectos de Luis Enjuanes e Isabel Sola, que busca un virus atenuado, y el de Mariano Esteban, que usa una proteína para activar la inmunidad.

El Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC) ha recibido 250.000 euros de Ferrovial para potenciar la búsqueda de una vacuna contra la pandemia de Covid-19. El fondo irá destinado al Centro Nacional de Biotecnología (CNB-CSIC) para apoyar dos proyectos de investigación para desarrollar vacunas: el que dirigen los virólogos Luis Enjuanes e Isabel Sola, para modificar genéticamente el SARS-CoV-2 y convertirlo en un virus atenuado que sirva como candidato a vacuna; y el que dirige el virólogo Mariano Esteban para utilizar una proteína del virus e incorporarla en otro virus que sirve de vehículo para estimular la respuesta inmune.
La presidenta del CSIC, Rosa Menéndez, ha agradecido este “importante impulso para reforzar la investigación de dos equipos destacados en la búsqueda de una vacuna segura y eficaz que pueda aplicarse para paliar los efectos de futuras epidemias de coronavirus. Ahora necesitamos explorar todas las vías que permitan que estos resultados de investigación básica lleguen a la sociedad, tras los necesarios ensayos clínicos. Esta donación nos va a permitir acelerar este proceso”
La donación de Ferrovial forma parte de del fondo Ferrovial Juntos COVID-19, destinado a equipamiento sanitario, investigación y ayuda social.

  • La aplicación web, denominada 3DBionotes-Covid-19, rastrea e integra fuentes de información internacionales sobre el SARS-CoV-2, agente causante de la pandemia

  • Esta plataforma enmarca todos los datos en un entorno tridimensional a nivel atómico y los pone a disposición de la comunidad científica internacional

Investigadores del Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC) en el Centro Nacional de Biotecnología (CNB-CSIC) han puesto a disposición de la comunidad científica una herramienta de computación que rastrea bases de datos y pone en común múltiples fuentes de información sobre el coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, causante de la pandemia de Covid-19. Este nueva herramienta de análisis, denominada 3DBionotes-Covid, integra toda esa información en un entorno interactivo tridimensional a nivel atómico. Esta nueva aplicación pone de manifiesto el papel esencial de las infraestructuras de investigación del Foro Estratégico Europeo (ESFRI) y de la participación española en ellas, puesto que su desarrollo nace de la confluencia en el CNB-CSIC de dos de estas grandes infraestructuras, Instruct (en el marco de la Biología Estructural) y ELIXIR (en Bioinformática), de las que España es socio. La aplicación se encuentra disponible tanto desde el CNB-CSIC como desde los nodos españoles de Instruct y de Elixir.
