Translational Clinical Research Program

Presentation

The Translational Clinical Research Program (Research in Inflammatory and Cardiovascular Disorders Program before) combines the effort, knowledge and know-how of the 40 investigators and more than 100 technicians and support personnel of 13 research groups committed to the expansion of the knowledge on the physio-pathological, inflammatory and genetic mechanisms of cardiovascular, respiratory, bone and other acute and chronic disorders, their treatment and management.

Addressing biomedical key scientific questions stemming from bedside will be the highest priority of the members of the program who are deeply multidisciplinary in nature in their joint venture. This approach should lead to translational research that may be applied to medical care, which in turn should guarantee a return in development and patenting. Several Groups have already established cross-link collaboration with other Research Groups at Hospital del Mar Research Institute in other Research Programs. All member groups will take advantage of their relationships with drug and technology industries to contribute to biomedical development of our society.

The traslational clinical research program is constituted by 13 groups:

• B Cell Biology, Andrea Cerutti
• Biomedical Research in Heart Diseases, Miguel Cainzos
• Cell Research on Inflammation and Cartilage, Jordi Monfort
• Critical Illness, Joan Ramon Masclans
• Hepatologic Research, Montserrat Garcia
• Inflammatory and Neoplastic Dermatological Diseases, Ramon Maria Pujol
• Immunity and Infection, Miguel López-Botet
• Infectius Pathology and Antimicrobials, Juan Pablo Horcajada
• Kidney Disease, Marta Crespo and Clara Barrios
• Myogenesis, Inflammation & Muscle Function, Joaquim Gea
• Musculoskeletal Research, Xavier Nogués
• Muscle Wasting and Cachexia in Chronic Respiratory Diseases and Lung Cancer, Esther Barreiro
• Rehabilitation, Esther Duarte

Most of the researcher members of the Program are involved in teaching and training students, young investigators, and medical doctors. Investigation and PhD degree achievement will be promoted among young clinicians, and international calls for research training positions and investigator exchange will be stimulated in the our program.
