On October 15, we are launching the Health and Science Project, a joint initiative with the Libraries of Barcelona. The goal is to bring science and scientific advances closer to citizens through direct contact with healthcare and research professionals. Each quarter, we will schedule 6 to 7 talks on health-related topics, which will take place in different libraries within the Hospital del Mar's reference area. The talks will be announced progressively both by the libraries and by us, through our website in the Health and Science Project section and via social media. https://www.imim.cat/projecte_salut_i_ciencia/en_index.html

Immigrants develop their first psychotic episode earlier than native-born individuals-on average, three years earlier. According to the study, this is linked to accumulated trauma throughout life and the age at which migration begins. The research, conducted at Hospital del Mar in collaboration with the Hospital del Mar Research Institute and CIBERSAM, appears in the European Journal of Psychotraumatology.

One of the symptoms associated with long COVID is chronic fatigue. Until now, its origin was unclear. A study conducted by the Pneumology, Pathology, and Intensive Care Services at Hospital del Mar, along with researchers from the Hospital del Mar Research Institute, points to a potential cause: fibrosis in the walls of blood vessels triggered by the infection. The study has been published in the journal Ultrastructural Pathology. The research is based on muscle biopsies taken from the quadriceps of 35 patients admitted to Hospital del Mar during the pandemic. Eight of these samples were analyzed using electron microscopy to assess the state of the tissue. Significant fibrosis was found in the walls of the capillaries supplying blood to the muscle fibers, a finding consistent with observations in other organs from patients who died from COVID-19.

Dr. Jenniffer Linares, a researcher with the Colorectal Cancer Precision Medicine Research Group at the Hospital del Mar Research Institute, has received the CRIS Program for Translational Medical Talent, awarded by the CRIS Against Cancer Foundation. A total of 11 million euros in funding has been granted through the CRIS Research Programs 2024, with the aim of promoting cancer research that places the patient at the center of scientific advancement. The awarded project, "Uncovering the Clinical Impact of Stromal-Derived Mechanisms of Resistance to Anti-EGFR Therapy in Colorectal Cancer," seeks to understand the mechanisms of resistance to anti-EGFR therapies derived from the tumor microenvironment in patients with RAS wild-type metastatic colorectal cancer. The goal is to identify predictive markers and develop new therapeutic strategies to overcome these mechanisms. The project will receive funding of 400,000 euros.
