Bank Sabadell Foundation announces the 12nd Edition of Sabadell Foundation Awards in order to recognize the excellence of researchers in biomedical research, sciences and engineering, economic research and research aids in social sciences and humanities.

It should be pointed out that in 2007 the award for biomedical research was for one of our IDIVAL researchers, Dr. Benedicto Crespo Facorro. The prize was awarded for his innovative skills and numerous publications in connection with the biological origins of schizophrenia based on neuro-imaging.
