In this context, CICA recognizes the necessity of strengthening and diversifying its research capabilities by establishing new research groups in three strategic areas. These groups will not only enhance our current projects but also pave the way for new research paths essential for advancing knowledge within our institution.The announcement of these three pre-doctoral contracts-one for each of CICA’s strategic areas-presents a valuable opportunity to attract talented individuals with innovative skills and knowledge. By providing the chance to work under the guidance of newly recruited and accomplished research staff (Ramón y Cajal, Beatriz Galindo), these positions will enable young pre-doctoral researchers not only to advance their research projects but also to develop the essential skills needed to become leading professionals in their respective fields.Moreover, this initiative is part of a broader CICA strategy aimed at fostering excellence and competitiveness in research.
