At the IGTP TODAY
The UAB organised a conference dedicated to the challenges of university hospitals, bringing together over one hundred professionals from the research institutes of affiliated hospitals and the University itself. Josep Manyé and Marc Jante from IGTP had the opportunity to briefly present their innovative research projects.
Mr Xavier Garcia Albiol, mayor of Badalona, visited the Comparative Medicine and Bioimage Centre of Catalonia (CMCiB), highlighting the role of IGTP as a reference in translational research and biomedical innovation in the service of global health.
We look back at the year's most significant news stories, showcasing the dedication and collaboration that define IGTP.
More than 150 researchers from the Can Ruti Campus gathered for the 4th Retreat of the Germans Trias i Pujol Research Institute (IGTP), an event designed as an annual meeting point for the scientific community at the Can Ruti Campus.
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.
Jordi Barretina, director of the Germans Trias i Pujol Research Institute (IGTP), and Júlia Garcia, scientific director, participated in The Gate Pro sessions at The Gate festival, organised by the Èpica Foundation of La Fura dels Baus, held on 28 and 29 October at its venue at the Port of Badalona. The event brought together experts from diverse fields, including supercomputing, philosophy, and health research, to discuss key topics like health, education, and technology.
IGTP has held an event to share resources, perspectives, and advancements as a centre linked to EATRIS, with a special focus on patient involvement in biomedical research.
Advanced therapies and precision medicine, artificial intelligence applied to respiratory diseases, the importance of networking, or the challenges of social care and ageing in the field of research were some of the topics discussed during the 15th edition. The ICS Research Awards were also presented during the event, with the majority being awarded to female researchers this year.
The organisations are collaborating on two studies in the field of severe Legionella infections and antibiotic resistance. Both projects have been presented by IGTP researchers within the framework of the "Scientific exchanges: join us" program, an initiative by Menarini to share progress and strengthen partnerships in research.
The report compiles the institution's key numbers and objectives, as well as its research activities. For the first time, the report also includes a web version that summarises the most relevant aspects.
