ARAID researcher Alberto Jiménez Schuhmacher receives the Carrera por la Vida 2026 Research Award

The Carrera por la Vida Awards are organised by the Carrera por la Vida Foundation to recognise research, social action and commitment from individuals, organisations and initiatives that help improve the quality of life of people affected by breast cancer and their families.

En la edición de 2026, el Premio a la Investigación ha recaído en el investigador ARAID Alberto Jiménez Schuhmacher, adscrito al IIS Aragón, en reconocimiento a su trayectoria en el estudio y abordaje del cáncer de mama masculino. Su trabajo ha contribuido a ampliar el conocimiento sobre esta enfermedad y a dar visibilidad a una realidad menos conocida dentro de la investigación oncológica.

The award ceremony took place during the fourth Carrera por la Vida Gala, which was held on Friday, 23 October 2026, at the Auditorio Infanta Leonor in Los Cristianos, Arona, Tenerife. The event will bring together representatives from the scientific, healthcare, social and business sectors committed to supporting people affected by breast cancer.

Alongside the recognition of Alberto Jiménez Schuhmacher, the Foundation will honour several organisations and initiatives for their contribution to this cause. The Asociación Contra el Cáncer de Mama Metastásico Fuerteventura will receive the Social Action Award; SIAM MALL will be recognised with the Corporate Social Responsibility Award; ARMADA SUR will receive the Social Initiative Award; Radio Televisión Canaria will be honoured with the Media Award; and CANARAGUA will receive the Special Award 2026.

Through these awards, the Carrera por la Vida Foundation highlights the contribution of biomedical research, social action, communication and corporate collaboration in supporting, raising awareness and improving care for people affected by breast cancer.
