Together with other NeuroLagun colleagues, we have organised the first session of a divulgation seminar composed by several short-talks about ageing. Four different talks, Neurogenesis (Juan Manuel Encinas), Imaging (Jesus M Cortes), Cognition (Laiene Olabarrieta) and Physical Activity as protected therapy (Gontzal Grandes). The seminar is Thursday June 14 2018, at 7.00pm in Nestor Basterretxea Aretoa.
In only 5 years after lab creation, we have got the accreditation of Consolidated of Excellence, according to indications of the National Institute of Health. This has been possible to all wonderful and talented researchers who have worked in the Computational Neuroimaging Laboratory at Biocruces. We are the only group formed by quantitative scientists (physicists and engineers) who has got this prestigious recognition, normally given to Clinical groups.
On May 7th, 2018 Asier Erramuzpe defended his Thesis titled “Development of new methods for brain connectivity biomarkers in epilepsy and other pathological conditions”. He got ”Cum Laude por Unaminidad”. Zorionak!!

A. Erramuzpe, JM Cortes and JI Lopez. Multisite tumor sampling enhances the detection of intratumor heterogeneity at all different temporal stages of tumor evolution. Virchows Arch 472:187-194, 2018 [pdf] Abstract Intratumor heterogeneity (ITH) is an inherent process of tumor development that has received much attention in previous years, as it has become a major obstacle for the success of targeted therapies. ITH is also temporally unpredictable across tumor evolution, which […]

Network Neuroscience 1: 242-253, 2017 [pdf] A novel approach rooted on the notion of consensus clustering, a strategy developed for community detection in complex networks, is proposed to cope with the heterogeneity that characterizes connectivity matrices in health and disease. The method can be summarized as follows: (i) define, for […]
JM Cortes, Giovanni de Petris, JI Lopez. Detection of intra-tumor heterogeneity in modern pathology: A multi-site tumor sampling (MSTS) perspective. Frontiers in Medicine 4:25 , 2017 [pdf] Current sampling protocols of neoplasms along the digestive tract and in the urinary bladder have to be updated, as they do not respond to the necessities of modern personalized medicine.

Jose Ignacio Lopez and Jesus M Cortes. Multi-Site Tumor Sampling (MSTS): A new tumor selection method to enhance intratumor heterogeneity detection. Human Pathology 64:1-6, 2017 [pdf] Intratumor heterogeneity (ITH) is increasingly being recognized as a highly complex process with high clinical impact that deserves special attention from practicing pathologists. The goodness of the ITH detection depends on the correctness of the pathologist’s sampling. The goal of this review is twofold. […]
