The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2013 was awarded jointly to Martin Karplus, Michael Levitt and Arieh Warshel “for the development of multiscale models for complex chemical systems”.
Our paper TNFRSF1A polymorphisms rs1800693 and rs4149584 in patients with multiple sclerosis has been accepted for publication in Neurology.

Today I attended the seminar “The Human Brain, Development and Structure” (El Cerebro Humano, Desarrollo y Estructura) presented by Professor Emeritus Dr. Miguel Marín-Padilla (Department of Pathology, Dartmouth Medical School, Hanover NH, USA) here at Vall d’Hebron Hospital (Neuroscience Seminars). Sincerely, it was probably the most pleasant seminar of the last year. Miguel is able to teach that science is not necessarily joined to complex and expensive techniques. He encourage young researchers to use their minds and innovate. Difficult words nowadays when science has become a pseudo-industrial activity.
One thing is clear. Real skillful scientists are modest.
Jennifer Pérez Boza has got a grant from the Instituto Carlos III (FIS, Fondo de Investigaciones Sanitarias).
Dr. Manuel Comabella and Dr. Xavier Montalban from our research group have contributed to the study “Genetic risk and a primary role for cell-mediated immune mechanisms in multiple sclerosis” published in Nature this month (Nature 476, 214–219). This is probably the largest genetics study ever undertaken on Multiple Sclerosis and includes contributions from almost 250 researchers as members of the International Multiple Sclerosis Genetics Consortium and the Wellcome Trust Case Control Consortium.
