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 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:
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.

The work improves accuracy in predicting complications at the boundary between the instrumented spine area and the area that is left free when spinal deformity corrective surgery is performed.
Entre els projectes es troben 12 investigacions on participen investigadors i investigadores de Vall d’Hebron.
The Scoliosis Research Society (SRS) has awarded with this prestigious recognition Dr. Pellisé's team for the study on the similarity of the adverse effects of surgeries both in elderly patients and in the general adult population.
