At the IGTP TODAY
The 3rd Innomed Awards brought together professionals from research, healthcare, entrepreneurship and investment, with the presentation of the 15 projects taking part in the new edition of GrowInn and recognition for the seven projects with the greatest potential.
IGTP will coordinate INTERACT-NF, a new European COST Action that will bring together 68 researchers from 13 countries to advance research on neurofibromatosis and schwannomatosis. The network will foster collaboration between researchers, clinicians and patient organisations to address the main challenges associated with these rare diseases.
Roger Paredes (Germans Trias Hospital, IrsiCaixa and the Fight Infections Foundation) coordinates the international NAVIS study, launched by the WHO to advance knowledge of Andes hantavirus. The initiative also includes an advanced virology and immunology study coordinated by IrsiCaixa and IGTP Principal Investigators Julià Blanco and Nuria Izquierdo-Useros.
IGTP has concluded a new cycle of visits to its laboratories as a part of La Marató "Visita la Recerca" program. More than fifty people had the opportunity to explore the biomedical research carried out at the institute through talks, workshops, and guided tours of the laboratories and facilities.
A team from the IGTP, in collaboration with the Home Hospitalisation Service (HAD) of the Germans Trias i Pujol University Hospital and the technology company Doole Health, has evaluated the usability of an artificial intelligence-based voice assistant for the remote clinical monitoring of patients. The results show good acceptance among both healthcare professionals and patients, including individuals with limited access to or use of digital technologies.

IGTP has presented the PATH Advanced Therapies Program (Program of Advanced Therapies) at an event held on 14 May in the auditorium of Hospital Germans Trias i Pujol.
CEEISCAT, a research group at IGTP, is developing Pan-Téstate, an online self-sampling program aimed at improving early screening for HIV and viral hepatitis among GBMSM and trans women in Spain. Using dried blood spot samples collected at home, the initiative seeks to reduce barriers to testing and improve access to early diagnosis and prevention.
CEEISCAT, a research group of IGTP, held its 8th Annual Meeting on 14 April at Palau Macaya. The event brought together around 100 health and research professionals to discuss how scientific knowledge is transformed into action, impact and real improvements in population health.
The event, held at CMCiB, brought together institutional representatives, the scientific community and healthcare professionals at the Can Ruti Campus, including the president of the Government of Catalonia, Salvador Illa. The gathering highlighted the institute's trajectory and its role within the Catalan research system.
A study led by the IGTP, the Germans Trias i Pujol University Hospital and the Institute of Biomedicine of Valencia (IBV-CSIC) analyses bacterial strains between 2021 and 2023 and shows how genomic sequencing can improve transmission detection and inform public health interventions.
