13 January 2026Aragón TV's science outreach program delves into the research of Alberto J. Schuhmacher's Molecular Oncology group
The science outreach program Curiosity saved the cat, broadcast yesterday, Sunday the 11th in Aragon TVIn its latest installment, it addressed some of the most innovative research being developed in Aragon in the field of health, aging and well-being.
One of the highlights of the program was the interview with Alberto J. Schuhmacher, researcher ARAID and director of the Molecular Oncology group of Aragon Health Research Institute (IIS Aragón). During the event, a novel and non-invasive technique was presented called virtual biopsywhich could represent a significant improvement in the diagnosis of certain types of cancer.
The program also explored a project focused on the renaturalization of school playgrounds, as well as the work of the Built4Life research group. University of Zaragoza, which works on the design of residences for the elderly adapted to the real needs of residents and caregivers, from an architecture designed for well-being.
Furthermore, Carlos Anerillas, ARAID researcher at the Aragonese Institute of Health SciencesHe explained how aging begins at the cellular level long before visible signs appear. Over time, some cells enter a state called cellular senescence, in which they cease to function properly—a key process for understanding aging and various diseases.
The program is presented by the biologist and science communicator Laura Camón and has the collaboration of the Spanish Foundation for Science and Technology – Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities, the Government of Aragonand the University of Zaragoza, entities committed to the promotion and dissemination of scientific knowledge to society.
