About the VHIR
Here at the Vall d'Hebron Research Institute (VHIR) we promote biomedical research, innovation and teaching. Over 1,800 people are seeking to understand diseases today so the treatment can be improved tomorrow.
Research
We are working to understand diseases, to find out how they operate and to create better treatments for patients. Get to know about our groups and their lines of research.
People
People are the centre of the Vall d'Hebron Research Institute (VHIR). This is why we are bound by the principles of freedom of research, gender equality and professional attitudes that HRS4R promotes.
Clinical trials
Our work is not just basic or translational; we are leaders in clinical research. Enter and find about the clinical trials we are conducting and why we are a world reference in this field.
Progress
Our aim is to make the research carried out at the Vall d’Hebron Research Institute (VHIR) a driving force for transformation. How? By identifying new channels and solutions for the promotion of people's health and well-being.
Core facilities
We offer specialist support for researchers, internal and external alike, ranging from specific services to preparing complete projects. All this, from a perspective of quality and speed of response.
News
We offer you a gateway for staying up to date on everything going on at the Vall d’Hebron Research Institute (VHIR), from the latest news to future solidarity activities and initiatives that we are organising.
The research group is composed by clinical researchers (pediatric surgeons, traumatologists, neonatologists and obstetricians) and basic researchers (biochemists, biotechnologists and biologists). Our multidisciplinary team has an extensive expertise in the field of biomedical research and a strong translational spirit to the human clinic. The main objectives of our research are addressed to:
In addition, our research team has extensive experience in the field of regenerative medicine and nanomedicine especially focused on the development of new therapeutic strategies for the treatment of musculoskeletal and osteoarticular pathologies and we are currently participating in highly innovative projects both at national and international level.
