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 Liver Diseases group is a referent at the local, national and international level in research, and is one of the most active groups in clinical research at VHIR. The group's prominent involvement in clinical trials is a clear indication of our professionals' commitment to ensuring that patients have access to state-of-the-art therapies. Our participation and collaboration in international projects and consortiums are also a fundamental characteristic of the group. The main objective of the group is to become one of the best translational research groups in liver diseases. It is essential to be able to apply all the findings of basic research to clinical research to improve the health of patients with liver disease.

The consensus establishes recommendations that could correct the current disparities related to muscle mass, weight and height and would allow for more precise prioritization of patients who require transplants more urgently.
Using computed tomography (CT), with or without contrast, it is possible to perform an accurate and safe detection of the disease without the need for biopsies and avoiding the limitations of other non-invasive diagnostic tools.
On World Clinical Trials Day, we highlight some of the studies we have participated in that confirm the efficacy of new drugs, allowing their approval by regulatory agencies.
Des de Vall d'Hebron estem buscant 200 persones voluntàries sanes d'entre 18 i 30 anys per a participar en un estudi sobre els patrons de consum habitual de l'alcohol en població jove, en el marc del projecte StopALD.
