Hablamos con siete de los científicos más prometedores de España, recientemente premiados por la Fundación Ramón Areces. Sus proyectos abarcan desde las enfermedades raras a la nanotecnología, desde el CO2 hasta la obesidad o el cáncer. Todavía no han cumplido los 40 años y ya están liderando sus propios equipos de investigación: la ciencia en España cuenta con un talento joven de primer nivel internacional, especialmente en áreas como la salud, la energía o el desarrollo de nuevos materiales. En INNOVADORES hemos hablado con siete de los perfiles más prometedores de la academia patria sobre sus proyectos, retos y barreras.
