IDIBELL is looking for a Research Technician for the Early Detection of Cancer Group

About the research group

The Early Detection of Cancer group is embedded in the Cancer Screening Unit, engaged in the implementation, management, and evaluation of population-based screening programs. We aimed to detect incipient tumors among the population in order to reduce cancer mortality.

Our commitment is to reduce the impact of cancer by facilitating early diagnosis of the disease. Therefore, we must ensure accessibility to testing, continuity, and quality throughout the screening process.

Research related to cancer screening programs is a key element for improving screening. In the last few years, our research has focused on evaluating communication strategies in population-based screening programs to achieve informed participation (MTICS and MTICS-2 projects).
