Silvestre Vicent, biologist at the CIMA of the University of Navarra, has been awarded the 2006 Young Researchers Award. This award is given by the American bone research organization (ASBMR).

His work has been based on identifying a factor that contributes to the spread of lung cancer to the bones. This problem, now incurable, causes pain, treads on the marrow and fractures that can kill the sick. There are no effective therapies to predict or curb this problem.
