Night shift work linked to a higher risk of long COVID

The first evidence that night work and chronic insomnia may increase the risk of developing long COVID comes from a new study led by ISGlobal, a centre supported by "la Caixa" Foundation, in collaboration with the Germans Trias i Pujol Research Institute (IGTP), through the GCATlGenomes for Life cohort.

IJC and IGTP join forces on two new initiatives to promote the use of Catalan in international scientific environments

Two new projects will promote the use of Catalan in research at the Can Ruti Campus, with support from CERCA grants. The initiatives, jointly developed by the Josep Carreras Leukaemia Research Institute (IJC) and the Germans Trias i Pujol Research Institute (IGTP), will promote Catalan as a language of cohesion, inclusion and science communication.
