Growth and Development

Our group is dedicated to paediatric research. We are interested in rare respiratory and endocrinological diseases, and also in common paediatric problems such as normal growth, asthma, neonatal pathology and imaging diagnosis, as well as minority diseases. Our goal is to transfer the findings of clinical and genetic studies to the widespread clinical practice and the general population, with the long-term objective of obtaining better diagnoses, implementing better therapeutic practices and improving the health of children.

Our group is part of CIBERER (Biomedical Research Networking Centre on Rare Diseases) (CIBERER U712) and European Reference Networks (ERN) for rare diseases ERN LUNG and Endo-ERN.

Cystic fibrosis.

Our paediatric Cystic Fibrosis Unit is one of the most important in Spain regarding number of patients and clinical research. We are the only centre in Spain collaborating in the European Cystic Fibrosis Clinical Trial Network, and in the Cystic Fibrosis Core Network of ERN-Lung. Besides clinical investigation, we are working in translational lab projects in collaboration with the Genetic Medicine group to study  the role of the eicosanoid pathway in the lung inflammation of this patients and, more importantly, to personalise the treatments for cystic fibrosis patients through the implementation of primary cultures of epithelial cells (bronchial, nasal) and organoids (rectal epithelium) and the study of transcripts and genomics by next generation sequencing in clinically diagnosed CF patients but with incomplete genomic characterization.

Endocrine pediatric rare diseases: Disorders of sex development (DSD), growth delay, thyroid dyshormonogenesis, familial isolated glucocorticoid deficiency and congenital hyperinsulinism.

4.1 Disorders of sex development (DSD): clinical and molecular diagnosis. We analyse known genes involved in human sexual differentiation and search for new genes.

4.2 Program of molecular diagnosis of thyroid dyshormonogenesis in patients with hypothyroidism which have been diagnosed at the newborn screening program. The objective of this project is to advance in the identification and characterization of the molecular basis of the patients with thyroid dyshormonogenesis through the implementation of next generation sequencing techniques (NGS) to later translate these results to the routine diagnosis of the detected patients in the program of Neonatal Screening of Congenital Hypothyroidism. Our group is reference centre for Catalonia. 4.3 Familial isolated glucocorticoid deficiency: clinical and molecular diagnosis. We analyse known genes involved in familial isolated glucocorticoid deficiency and search for new genes.

4.4 Congenital hyperinsulinism: clinical and molecular diagnosis. We analyse known genes involved in congenital hyperinsulinism and search for new genes.
