The list identifies the most influential experts, who are among the 1% most cited in their speciality in several areas of knowledge.

The research team used nanotechnology to deliver the drug directly to liver cells, which eliminated side effects without reducing effectiveness.

The award is a recognition for his significant contribution to the development of research in multiple sclerosis within the Catalan Institute of Health.

A study, led by Vall d'Hebron, identifies what type of information patients need to develop a web platform that will be useful to them when involving- se in making decisions about their treatment.

The Cardiovascular Diseases and Neurovascular Diseases groups at VHIR will investigate new therapeutic strategies for heart failure, nanomedicine in stroke and the prevention of cardiovascular toxicity in the case of oncological treatments.

After carrying out a first feasibility trial in collaboration with the Assisted Reproduction Section of the Vall d'Hebron Hospital, Manina Medtech is moving towards a pilot trial in IVF patients.

The evaluation committee has highlighted that VHIR has experienced a positive evolution in the last evaluation period.

The funds will enable the recruitment and retention of young talent, as well as the development of a new epigenetic drug

Researchers have used an innovative protocol to identify people with this autoimmune disease who have a higher risk of cancer.

As part of the initiative, WikiTropica, a tool that provides health professionals with up-to-date information on infectious and tropical diseases, has been launched.

This strategy protects almost two thirds of patients. It also reduces the waiting time between vaccination and initiation of immune suppressive treatment.

The aim is to make visible the attractiveness of VHIR as a place to work highlighting the unique opportunities it offers for biomedical research professionals at national and international level.
