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.
Our main scientific interest is to understand, from a multidisciplinary and translational approach, the molecular and cellular processes leading to renal dysfunction in several kidney pathologies. Specifically, our research lines are
We are experts on the following areas:
To sum up, our research main objective is to combine –omic data from cellular and animal models with patients’ data to identify novel biomarkers and possible treatments for several renal diseases.
Among the genes identified in our laboratory that are kidney-specific and regulated by androgens at the transcriptional level we are particularly focused on the one that codes for the kidney androgen-regulated protein (KAP). Besides characterization of the functional promoter elements that enable KAP expression in proximal tubule epithelial cells, we have generated a transgenic (Tg) mouse model that overexpresses KAP in proximal tubule cells under the presence of androgens, in order to mimick the endogenous KAP expression pattern. KAP Tg mice show altered lipid metabolism, glycosuria, proteinuria and hypertension, as well as focal segmental glomerulosclerosis mediated by increased oxidative stress. We are currently working in this Tg model and also preparing conditional knock-out mice to further caharacterize the role of KAP in renal pathophysiology. Moreover, we are also studying the role of KAP in the metabolic syndrome. Besides KAP, we are studying the role of KAP-interacting immunophilins in inflammation and kidney fibrosis.

Idiopathic nonfamilial focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSG) is a disease with no treatment, whose usual outcome is end-stage renal disease frequently recidivating after transplantation. In close cooperation with the Nephrology and Paediatric Nephrology services of Vall d'Hebron hospital together with hospitals throughout the country that provide a significant number of patients, we intend to identify the hypothetical blood factor that causes the proteinuria observed in this disease. Identification of such plasma factor, by means of differential proteomic analysis, would allow the definition of therapeutic targets for the disease, which currently lacks an effective treatment. Our second objective is to find biomarkers that enable us to foresee a potential recidivation and the consequent loss of the graft following renal transplantation to FSG patients.

Pediatric patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) constitude a high risk group for cardiovascular disease (CVD) related to traditional and non-traditional risk factors. We are interested in studying the relationship between traditional CVD risk factors (obesity, overweight, anemia, dyslipemia, malnutrition, hypertension, and non-traditional CVD risk factors (homocysteine, asymmetric dymethylarginine (ADMA), FGF23, ultraselective protein C (PCR) and carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT) in children and adolescents with CKD, based on its severity and duration. Further, we are also interested in finding a biomarker to identify early in the disease, those patients with increased CVD risk and poor outcome.

Chronic allograft nephropathy (CAN) is one of the major causes of graft loss in kidney-transplanted patients. The pathogenetic mechanisms of CAN are probably multifactorial, including early noxious agents as a consequence of ischemia/ reperfusion of the graft or high loading doses of anticalcineurinics (aCN), and also chronic damage following aCN therapy, rejection or other reasons. We want to determine the proteomic and genomic changes occurring in tubular cells after different noxious agents (cyclosporin, tacrolimus, other renal toxicants, hypoxia), and also the effects caused by immunophilin silencing (anticalcineurin receptors) in the renal proximal tubule cells. Our objective is to identify specific markers of kidney injury that would be useful to anticipate toxicity or injury in early starges. Those putative markers will be clinically validated in collaboration with the Nephrology and the Pathology services of Vall d’Hebron Hospital.

The work identifies variants in genes such as NFU1 that, combined with the disease-causing mutation, can accelerate kidney deterioration.
The communication is part of a study aimed at identifying the mechanisms of progression of Familial Hypomagnesemia with Hypercalciuria and Nephrocalcinosis, a rare disease that affects the kidneys.
"Patients with familial hypomagnesemia with hypercalciuria and nephrocalcinosis present miRNA profiles in urinary extracellular vesicles associated with disease progression" was the awarded work.
