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 aim of this group is to develop translational and clinical research in rehabilitation. From the lab-based cellular level of understanding injury to rehabilitation and recovery, our researchers are dedicated to the development and translation of more effective strategies to promote prevention, functional recovery, and improved quality of life after disability.
Our vision: make disability preventable, liveable and curable.
Our mission: conduct research and training towards the development and translation of more effective strategies to promote prevention, functional recovery, and improved quality of life after disability.
Principal investigators, investigators and associate members come together from many different departments at the Rehabilitation Service and reflecting the wide breadth of expertise through the disability. The principal investigators and researchers include professors in Universitat Autònoma and Universitat Blanquerna.
Special objectives in innovation areas with in collaboration with pharmaceutical companies (pluripotencial cells, botulinum toxins), other biotechnology companies (diagnosis, prevention and management), participating in technology transference projects with other research groups, and involvement in projects and networks endorsed by European Scientific Societies.
The Research Group of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation collaborates with the University of Andorra (UdA), specifically with Mercè Avellanet's team; and with the Universitat Jaume I of Valencia (UJI), team of Carlos Suso.
