On 27 November, various Can Ruti Campus healthcare and research sites joined forces to organise talks and workshops engaging directly with the public.
New study, in collaboration with GCAT, explores the association between different environmental exposures and Long-COVID in a Catalan population cohort.
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.
The IGTP is leading an innovative project on youth sexual health and participating in a second project funded by La Marató 2023, which has enabled the promotion of 26 research projects on sexual and reproductive health, led by 52 research teams. Yesterday, these teams received their awards at an event held at TV3. Of the funded projects, 10 are individual, and 16 are coordinated between two or more research centres.
The participation of the GCAT|Genomes For Life cohort in the CORDELIA consortium represents a strategic step to enhance and expand the impact of population research on the IGTP campus. This collaboration is part of the transversal CORE program, aimed at fostering innovative and translational research, implementing new knowledge in clinical practice, and improving population health.
Nearly 200 baccalaureate and vocational training students from the Badalona institutes visited the centres at the Can Ruti Campus. The event "Open House, get to know the Can Ruti Campus up close", organised by the Badalona Education Service and IGTP, in coordination with other institutions on the Campus, has become a flagship initiative of the Science Week.
Researchers at IGTP and IISPV have conducted a review on the therapeutic potential of extracellular vesicles in inflammatory bowel disease. While this approach remains in the early stages of research, ongoing clinical studies for various diseases already support its viability.
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.
Researchers at IGTP and HUGTiP have reinforced their leading role in infectious disease research by characterising and developing a new study model using Drosophila, which will enable the evaluation of various infectious agents.
