Infection and Immunity in pediatric patients

The Infection and Immunity in pediatric patients research group is a multidisciplinary pediatric research group made up of health professionals involved in translational research in the field of pediatric infectious diseases and immunodeficiencies, two related fields in terms of pathophysiology and clinical implications. It is a consolidated research group recognized by the AGAUR and is the only one with the accreditation of the Jeffrey Modell Foundation in research in the field of primary immunodeficiencies throughout the state.

The group was officially created in 2010, belongs to the area of Infectious Diseases and participates in the transversal programs of Advanced Translational Immunology and Rare Diseases and actively participates in national and international competitive projects, carries out multiple academic and industry-linked clinical trials and has increased the number and quality in recent years. In addition, it has its own laboratory specially dedicated to advanced immune studies.
