Pneumology

The group’s basic and clinical research activity, above all, surrounds the fields of inflammation and repair, respiratory insufficiency and tissue hypoxia, and these fields complement one another and are connected through the study of conditions such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), pulmonary fibrosis, infections, transplants, pulmonary hypertension or sleep-related breathing disorders.

The group has an experimental research laboratory and a clinical research and clinical trial unit. It is made up of professionals from different specialties (pulmonologists, biologists, nurses, laboratory technicians, physiotherapists etc.). This multidisciplinary team provides an added value to the group and guarantees the existence of the critical mass necessary to carry out scientific projects.

Our group is a node that belongs to the CIBERES network (CIBER for respiratory diseases) and also works in collaboration with groups of the highest national and international prestige.

The EXPOSIM project will investigate the impact of environmental stressors such as pollution, noise and aeroallergens on immune-mediated diseases.

This recognition highlights both his career and the level of respiratory research in Spain.

The ERS Awards recognize outstanding members for their exceptional contributions in the field of respiratory medicine.

EXIMIOUS

EXIMIOUS (Mapping Exposure-Induced Immune Effects: Connecting the Exposome and the Immunome), un projecte finançat per la Unió Europea que engloba 15 organitzacions de 7 països europeus.

EXIMIOUS té com a objectiu estudiar l’exposoma, és a dir, l’exposició a factors ambientals al llarg de la vida, per entendre la seva relació amb les malalties immunomediades, com ara les malalties autoimmunes o les al·lèrgies. Des del VHIR està liderat per la Dra. M Jesús Cruz i el seu equip de Pneumologia.
