Tot Barcelona, e-notícies and El Plural have published an interview with Begoña Cánovas, a postdoctoral researcher at IRB Barcelona, who, thanks to a grant from "la Caixa", has been part of the team of researchers that detected the protein that fuels the survival of a type of breast cancer. "The day they gave me the first fellowship, I couldn’t believe it. I felt great and my parents jumped for joy when they found out. When you see all the applications, you feel like it's a lottery and you think you have no chance of winning, but it's worth trying, "said Cánovas.
