Gladstone Institutes, a nonprofit biomedical research organization, has secured more than 105,000 square feet of future laboratory space in a newly constructed building at 1450 Owens Street in San Francisco, empowering its scientists with the tools and environment to create medicines of the future. The new building is one block from Gladstone's 200,000-square-foot headquarters, which houses more than 600 scientists across 32 labs. 

The Research Group on Academic and Professional English at the Universitat Jaume I (GRAPE-UJI), led by professors Inmaculada Fortanet and Noelia Ruiz, is developing a computer tool to promote a paradigm shift in language teaching — in this case, English — that will make it possible to move from an exclusively linguistic approach to a global approach in which visual elements play as important a role as verbal elements.

The team has received funding from the UJI>LAB IMPULS call with a project led by Edgar Bernad that will help accelerate the software development of GRAPE-MARS (Multimodal Analysis Research Software). The first prototype, already in operation and tested by a large number of researchers at international level, was created in a previous project with the participation of Noelia Ruiz, Inmaculada Fortanet, Edgar Bernad and Julia Valeiras. The current project aims to improve the programme and commercialise it in relevant contexts such as research, education and business.
