24Genetics and CEU San Pablo University have signed a strategic agreement for the training of students in the Bachelor's Degree in Biotechnology, which can be extended to other Health Sciences degrees. The CEO of 24Genetics, Nacho Esteban, and the Rector of CEU USP, Rosa Visiedo, have been responsible for signing this collaboration agreement, accompanied by the Deputy Minister for Universities, Science and Innovation, Fidel Rodríguez Batalla, as well as the directors of Madri+d.

With the aim of achieving the best employability for their students, CEU USP has promoted the CEU-Business Aulas in all schools during this academic year.
