At the IGTP TODAY
Researchers from ICREC-IGTP have conducted a preclinical study on the effects of the drug empagliflozin, alone or in combination with sacubitril/valsartan, in the early phase following a myocardial infarction. The combination of the two showed promising results.
On May, students from Sadako School and the Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB) visited the IGTP as part of its educational outreach to promote science among young people.
In this year’s edition of #científiques, fourteen researchers from IGTP have shared their expertise in various schools and secondary schools across Catalonia, offering students a first-hand and inspiring insight into their work in biomedical research.
We look back at the year's most significant news stories, showcasing the dedication and collaboration that define IGTP.
Once again, the names of around thirty renowned professionals - from the Hospital and the Germans Trias i Pujol Research Institute (IGTP), the Fight Infections Foundation, IrsiCaixa, the Josep Carreras Leukaemia Research Institute (IJC), and the Institut Català d'Oncologia (ICO) - appear on a global list of scientists who have achieved the highest impact through their publications and citations.
IGTP has received grants for six research projects in two calls from the Spanish Research Agency, under the State Plan for Scientific and Technical Research and Innovation 2021-2023.
A new study, published in New England Journal of Medicine, has demonstrated the benefits of placing a clip on the valve instead of the usual medical treatment. The study includes the participation of Professor Antoni Bayés-Genís, principal investigator of the ICREC group and Director of the Heart Institute at Germans Trias Hospital.

The results of a pioneering study by IGTP and BST support the safety of the bioimplants called PeriCord, made from stem cells of the umbilical cord and pericardium from a tissue donor, which aid in the regeneration and revascularisation of the affected area.
To commemorate International Women's Day, we asked four questions to researchers from various profiles at IGTP and professionals from different research support areas. The aim is to understand the difficulties they have faced as women in their professional field and to gain insight into their perspectives on the future.
