The conference was attended by researchers from the two nodes INIA-CISA and IRTA-CReSA, as well as researchers from the INIA Department of Biotechnology in the field of animal health with the aim of explaining and sharing the research lines of each. In addition, assessing opportunities for collaboration in research and empowerment of the ICTS in the field of animal health.
Fernando Rodríguez, until now director of IRTA-CReSA, presented the lines of research and activities that are carried out in the IRTA-CReSA node, highlighting research in African Swine fever. Similarly, the director of INIA-CISA Marisa Arias, explained the activity carried out in this node.
