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 Neurotraumatology and Neurosurgery Research Unit (UNINN) is a translational research group fully integrated into the European research community and accredited as a Consolidated Research Group since 2005.
The UNINN conduct both basic and clinical research, with the aim of transferring benchside discoveries to the bedside. We have robust intramural synergies, national collaborations with basic scientists, and international collaborations and alliances with researchers from multiple countries and institutions with whom we share common research goals.
Our research unit participates in multinational clinical trials funded by the pharmaceutical industry and the European Union (EU). Our research unit is highly focused on developing and using new technologies to improve the assessment of clinical outcomes, incorporating quality of life measures, and patient-reported outcomes. We also maintain an important collection of brain tissue samples, serum, LCR, and microdialysates from the cerebral extracellular space of neurocritical patients.

The goal is to test a low-cost, easy-to-use and non-invasive monitor, which will serve to control intracranial pressure (PICO) values, which will help to control and treat different acute brain pathologies.
The new tool will improve patient care and allow early detection of complications, as the hospital previously did not have a specific form.
Entre els projectes es troben 12 investigacions on participen investigadors i investigadores de Vall d’Hebron.
