Letter from our Director
In 2023, we remain committed to our institution’s mission of promoting and managing research in close collaboration with the Vall d’Hebron Hospital. This is why we can be proud of our high-level clinical, translational and basic research, which covers all areas of human health and disease and all stages of life, from before birth to old age.
I would like to start by highlighting 2 milestones at the institutional level this year, such as the CERCA evaluation and the first phase of re-accreditation as a research institute by the Instituto de Salud Carlos III.

HIGHLIGHTS
eCORE
Global Health
The aim of this eCORE is the study of those diseases that have a global impact in society. The groups will promote research diseases that affect a large number of people in order to improve society’s well-being and public health.
RESEARCH GROUPS
Chronic, Prevalent Diseases & Aging
This eCORE focuses on the study of chronic and prevalent diseases along people’s life, and the effect of aging in society’s well-being.
RESEARCH GROUPS
Woman & Child Health & Rare Diseases
The main objectives of this eCORE are the study of diseases that affect women and children, including maternal diseases and paediatric and early ages health issues, as well as rare diseases affecting a small number of people.
RESEARCH GROUPS
Brain & Mind and Behaviour
Research groups affiliated to this eCORE are focused on the study of diseases affecting the brain, mind and/or behaviour. These clinical conditions have a high personal, social and economic burden, leading to disability and reducing quality and life.
RESEARCH GROUPS
Cancer
The aim of the Cancer eCORE is to improve the outcome and quality of life of cancer patients. Cancer eCORE directs its efforts to unveil and understand the mechanisms of the cancer origin and progression. The ultimate goal is to translate this knowledge into new diagnostic, prognostic and therapeutic solutions. Our bench to bed comprehensive research includes the generation of relevant disease models, biomarker studies, drug development and clinical trials.
RESEARCH GROUPS
Personalised Medicine, Innovative Diagnostics, Molecular Imaging & Digital Health
Being the largest, the objective of this eCORE is the development of new diagnostic tools and the promotion of personalized medicine based or not on digital health through the use of molecular imaging and other medical imaging technologies, biochemistry, pharmacy, pathology anatomy, omics data and related disciplines.
RESEARCH GROUPS
Advanced Therapies and Advanced Interventions, Nanomedicine, Transplant & Donation
This eCORE is focused on the development of novel cutting-edge treatment and interventions, based on advanced therapies, nanomedicine and innovative surgical and transplant/donation procedures, with the clear aim of making such progresses readily available to patients in need.

PARTNERS AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
In this section we want to thank the support of the board of trustees and other governing bodies, the entities that have placed their trust in us by financing research projects, as well as all the citizens and patient’s associations because through their private donations they contribute to providing research funds. And, finally, to the patients and their families for their generosity in helping us on a day-to-day basis, whether in defining our mission, placing themselves at the center of research since they are the first to benefit, either as volunteers in the clinical trials.
