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.
Dr. Yalin Kilic- Biomedical Engineering. Izmir Ekonomi University, Turkey
In an era which information moves at speed of light, all non-instantaneous technologies look out dated. Healthcare technologies are usually among the lagging ones, when it comes to transformation and adaptation into new demands. Still, biosensors and point-of-care diagnostics devices are positioned to change the delivery of healthcare, where these technologies can be used in cheap, disposable point-of-care devices, or they can be used to provide continuous monitoring in implantable devices. One way or the other, measurement in biomedical applications presents unique challenges in whole stages of design and implementation, as well as interpretation of the results. Leading a team of engineers and scientists, i want to present short real life experiences where we deliver ODM and OEM biomedical devices ultilizing biosensors, microfluidics and robotics, targeting a repeatable high performance at a low cost.
