Spine Research Unit

The Vall d’Hebron Spine Research Unit (VHSRU) is a growing multidisciplinary group of professionals devoted to spinal disorders with an increasing impact in terms of number of publications, associated IF and research funding. VHSRU has published 198 articles in spine field, 40% of them Q1, with a total IF of 451,9. 

Our research unit is organized in four research lines: 

  • Pediatric and adolescent deformity, 
  • Adult deformity, 
  • Spinal cord injuries,
  • Cellular therapy and new surgical techniques.

VHRSU has been involved as coordinator or collaborator in 25 funded research projects. VHRSU is currently coordinating 5 competitive projects granted by national and international institutions (Marató TV3, Eurospine, SRS, AO, GEER). One of our research projects, the European Spine Study Group (ESSG), has been very successful, with more than 60 published manuscripts and 244 podium presentations. All these projects allowed us to establish new synergies with other research centers and universities. We hope to expand this network in the future.
