About
This group is mostly dedicated to research on biomarkers and molecular mechanisms underlying the development and progression of malignant neoplasms and it aims to provide translational knowledge to advance the diagnosis, prognosis and prediction of a variety of human cancers.
For this purpose, the team combines both morphological (light and ultrastructural microscopy) and advanced molecular tools including next generations sequencing (NGS), in situ hybridisation and immunohistochemistry; these, integrated with bioinformatics tools such as digital pathology, provide a multidisciplinary approach to cancer research. They also have a special interest, and long and productive research tradition in non-neoplastic conditions, including neurodegenerative diseases including dementias and nephropathology amongst others.
The group of Cancer Molecular Pathology and Vulnerabilities (CAMOPAVUL) has been recognized as a Consolidated Research Group (2021SGR01490) with financial support by the Agency for Management of University and Research Grants (AGAUR) of the Government of Catalonia.
Keywords: Cancer, NGS, molecular pathology, traslational research.

Conclouen amb èxit les visites de La Marató als laboratoris de l’IGTP
Les quatre visites del cicle "Visita la recerca" de la Fundació La Marató de TV3 a l'Institut de Recerca Germans Trias i Pujol (IGTP) han finalitzat amb un balanç molt positiu. Més de 50 col·laboradors han pogut conèixer diversos projectes de recerca finançats a través d'aquesta iniciativa solidària.
Es presenta CARE el Programa Translacional de Recerca en Càncer de l’IGTP
CARE, el Programa Translacional de Recerca en Càncer (Translational Program in Cancer Research), és el primer programa transversal promogut per l'Institut de Recerca Germans Trias i Pujol (IGTP), que vol ser nexe d'investigadors del càncer interessats a establir ponts entre la recerca bàsica i la clínica, amb una clara vocació per traslladar al pacient el coneixement i les eines que es generen al laboratori.
