Nephrology and kidney transplantation

Our research group is accredited by the Agency for Management of University and Research Grants (AGAUR) in Catalonia, and focuses on two main areas of interest which are related to Solid Organ Transplantation and especially Kidney, and in clinical Nephrology. We tackle these areas from an innovative perspective, both basic-experimental and mechanistic, always with a translational goal. On the one hand, we investigate, develop, and use novel diagnostic and therapeutic technologies to decipher and target main molecular and immune mechanisms of transplant rejection as well as the immune susceptibility to opportunistic infections and malignancies. Also, a main task force of the group is devoted to better understand the main mechanisms involved in certain autoimmune glomerular diseases and idiopathic nephrotic syndrome as well as in diabetic kidney disease, having a specific interest in the role of the renin-angiotensin system. Our ultimate goal is to improve the management and care of patients suffering from kidney diseases as well as their quality of life, reducing associated morbidity and mortality.
