At the IGTP TODAY
The event took place at CosmoCaixa Barcelona and featured contributions from health professionals, institutions, and entities that have been collaborating closely with the centre for many years.
Fundació Catalunya La Pedrera provides these awards, supporting and enhancing the careers of young talents with both its own resources and contributions from the ICS Gerència Territorial Metropolitana Nord.
The IGTP Retreat consolidates as a nexus of the research carried out at the Can Ruti Campus. This year the event has focused on ageing and a patient-centred model of care.
A research team, led by Dr. Conxi Lázaro, from IDIBELL and ICO, and Dr. Eduard Serra, from IGTP, has published in the journal Molecular Oncology the expansion of a precision medicine platform to analyse and improve treatments for malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumours.
A collaborative document outlining new guidelines for the isolation and characterisation of extracellular vesicles in parasitic disease research has been published in the Journal of Extracellular Biology. A research group from IGTP and ISGlobal contributed to the study, which could enhance our understanding of host-parasite interactions and advance early diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of parasite-caused diseases.
Researchers from IGTP have discovered that administering human apotransferrin to mice models affected by intracerebral haemorrhage can mitigate the damaging effects of this severe type of stroke. This finding highlights the promising role of apotransferrin as a pre-hospital and pre-triage frontline treatment for all stroke patients. The study has been published in the journal Antioxidants.
The Can Ruti Campus and the healthcare and research teams of the different institutions that comprise it continue to prove, once again this year, to be a relevant node on a global scale in terms of scientific production and progress.
Around 200 students from secondary schools in Badalona have visited different centres on the Can Ruti Campus this morning, taking part in one of the main events of the 28th edition of Science Week in Badalona. The Germans Trias i Pujol Research Institute (IGTP) has organised the event together with the Germans Trias Hospital.
Researchers from the IGTP have led a comprehensive review study on biomarkers for the often-overlooked partial remission phase of type 1 diabetes, in collaboration with experts in β-cell biology and regeneration from the Diabetes Research Institute in Miami. The study has been published in the journal Trends in Endocrinology and Metabolism.
The 14th Research Conference of the ICS focused on the transformative potential of research in the health system and awarded prizes to eight researchers. Antoni Bayés and Alejandro Bustamante, who work at the Hospital and researchers at IGTP, were awarded a prize for the best hospital scientific career and ICS young researcher, respectively.
