Infectious Diseases

The VHIR Infectious Diseases research group is made up of medical professionals, with healthcare and clinical or basic translational research activities; of Biomedicine dedicated to basic research; and Nursing, with activities to support clinical research.

The group's lines of research are mainly focused on four areas:

Infections related to immunosuppression. Includes infectious diseases related to immunocompromised patients, solid organ or hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients and recipients of biological therapies.

Sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV infection and other highly prevalent infections in our country (syphilis, gonorrhea, lymphogranuloma venere or infections caused by the human papillomavirus).

Infections related to health care, with special emphasis on those difficult to treat (cardiovascular infections or infections related to prosthetic materials) or caused by multi-resistant pathogens (MDRO) or affecting vulnerable populations.

Global Health and Tropical Diseases with special emphasis on prevalent diseases in our environment that affect the immigrant or displaced population.
