COVID-19 Research at Vall d’Hebron Assistance and research go hand in hand in the fight against COVID-19 at Vall d’Hebron. From the very beginning, all professionals have joined efforts to face the challenges posed by an unprecedented global epidemic, making us a reference center for COVID-19. Vall d’Hebron Research Task Force COVID-19 The Vall d’Hebron Barcelona Hospital Campus has been and continues to be a reference center for COVID-19. During the first wave of the pandemic, it was the hospital with the highest number of COVID-19 hospitalizations in Catalonia and also admitted the largest number of patients in its ICU. But it is not only a reference in healthcare, as from the outset COVID-19 research became one of the core focuses of the research groups at the Vall d’Hebron Research Institute (VHIR). A clear example of this scientific activity is the publication of more than 300 articles on COVID-19 with the participation of Vall d’Hebron professionals since the start of the pandemic. With the experience gained from these intense recent months and a commitment to continuous improvement, we have created a multidisciplinary working environment (Task Force) of over 190 researchers to provide the best possible service to the public while addressing many of the remaining challenges posed by COVID-19. These professionals belong to 28 research groups (27 from VHIR and 1 from VHIO), 31 hospital care services, a Scientific-Technical Service of VHIR (Statistics and Bioinformatics Unit), the Hospital Information Systems Directorate, and the Primary Care Center IDIAP Jordi Gol. Main objectives of the Task Force: Concentrate and coordinate the efforts of all involved professionals. Strengthen horizontal support to implement proposed initiatives and activities. Continue encouraging and facilitating the work of our researchers in publishing COVID-19 studies and achieving competitive projects (several currently underway) to increase scientific output and knowledge. In this sense, coordinating scientific efforts at the institutional level is not new. For example, hospitals belonging to the EUHA (European University Hospitals Alliance) have implemented different strategies to coordinate activities and find synergies within their scientific communities.

Martínez, María Phenotypes and precision medicine Research lines Precision medicine requires the identification of different phenotypes and biomarkers to allow individualisation of treatments and comparison of disease progression and complications. Research questions focus on clarifying the interaction between the virus and the host. The group has contributed to the identification of phenotypes and raises research questions on biomarkers in different subpopulations and in database analyses. The identification of different biomarkers allows characterisation of these phenotypes, prognostic stratification, and comparisons with other viruses (RSV, influenza virus, etc.). This research line is patient-centred and covers the outpatient, hospitalisation, ICU and post-COVID follow-up phases.
