TORNAR A PROJECTES FINANÇATS
cartell 1998

A l'edició del 1998, dedicada a la diabetis i altres malalties metabòliques, es van presentar 126 projectes, que van ser enviats a avaluar a l'ANEP. D'acord amb la proposta de la Comissió Assessora de la Fundació La Marató de TV3, el Patronat va acordar distribuir 3.313.476 € entre 37 projectes de recerca biomèdica. Els resultats obtinguts es van fer públics en el V Simposium Fundació La Marató de TV3, celebrat l'any 2004.
