A career-related website

This website is from ACCDIS: Advanced Center for Chronic Diseases.

As its name says, the mean objective of this center is to investigate the most common chronic diseases suffered by our country like diabetes, cancer and cardiovascular diseases. They try to find new therapeutic targets for novel drugs that will improve patient’s life, because all this diseases are incurables. Besides they want to participate in the construction of new public policies that allow the prevention of these diseases

In this website you can find publications related to chronic diseases, its origins, national statistics and protocols for new therapies. Besides, twice a year the open vacancy for a lot of activities and workshops related to this area, so if you are interested in this topic you can ask for more information on the website or in their office that is in our faculty.

I started to visit the site because in classes we were studying cancer and the teacher, who is also the founder of this center, suggests us. This year the course it’s all about cancer and inflammation, so I like to visit the site for information research. It has national (in Spanish) and international scientific papers so it helps me to study.
