A study by the Infectious Diseases group at VHIR has found that some people with HIV can uniquely control the virus thanks to a special type of cell in their immune system.

The awarded projects will study the immune response to HIV and the VIGex tool as a biomarker for immunotherapy response.

The study aims to investigate how excess body fat alters the number and function of T lymphocytes, leading to a greater predisposition to infectious diseases.

This project will make societies aware of their rights related to sexual and reproductive health and empower young people to make informed and appropriate choices.

On World Clinical Trials Day, we highlight some of the studies we have participated in that confirm the efficacy of new drugs, allowing their approval by regulatory agencies.

The new protocol has the same efficacy as the standard one, but only a quarter of the duration, reducing dropout rates and side effects.

The initiative, carried out at the Consulate of Bolivia, has resulted in 307 new tests for the diagnosis of Chagas disease

The study shows that blocking the KLRG1 receptor helps to recover the activity of the natural killer cells of the immune system and reactivate the virus reservoir to fight infection.

This new method improves and streamlines drug development processes

Members of the Infectious Diseases research group and the VHIR Management participated in the sessions and visited the areas where the CRESCER and FUTURO projects are developed.

The research, which is part of the CRESCER project in which Vall d'Hebron participates, has 1423 pregnant women among whom two different interventions will be tested.

The Vall d'Hebron work has shown that people vaccinated with Pfizer or Moderna have specific memory T lymphocytes against SARS-CoV-2 in the lung months after vaccination.

Els ajuts impulsaran estudis en els camps del VIH, les hepatitis virals i la COVID-19.

The research, published in The Lancet, studied patients in Barcelona and Madrid, and shows that direct contact is the main route of transmission for the disease.

HIV infected cells expressing the CD32 molecule are more resistant to the action of the natural killer cells of the immune system, which are key in the fight against viral infections.
