Can Ruti researchers bring science to the heart of Badalona
On 27 November, various Can Ruti Campus healthcare and research sites joined forces to organise talks and workshops engaging directly with the public.
At the IGTP TODAY
On 27 November, various Can Ruti Campus healthcare and research sites joined forces to organise talks and workshops engaging directly with the public.
Once again, the names of around thirty renowned professionals - from the Hospital and the Germans Trias i Pujol Research Institute (IGTP), the Fight Infections Foundation, IrsiCaixa, the Josep Carreras Leukaemia Research Institute (IJC), and the Institut Català d'Oncologia (ICO) - appear on a global list of scientists who have achieved the highest impact through their publications and citations.
The IGTP is leading an innovative project on youth sexual health and participating in a second project funded by La Marató 2023, which has enabled the promotion of 26 research projects on sexual and reproductive health, led by 52 research teams. Yesterday, these teams received their awards at an event held at TV3. Of the funded projects, 10 are individual, and 16 are coordinated between two or more research centres.
Nearly 200 baccalaureate and vocational training students from the Badalona institutes visited the centres at the Can Ruti Campus. The event "Open House, get to know the Can Ruti Campus up close", organised by the Badalona Education Service and IGTP, in coordination with other institutions on the Campus, has become a flagship initiative of the Science Week.
Debios Diagnostics aims to improve diagnostics for diseases of the urinary and reproductive systems through non-invasive testing, while HealthTech Innovations S.L. seeks to enhance operating room efficiency and safety by integrating advanced technology that supports nursing staff and optimises sterilisation processes.
IGTP has held an event to share resources, perspectives, and advancements as a centre linked to EATRIS, with a special focus on patient involvement in biomedical research.
Advanced therapies and precision medicine, artificial intelligence applied to respiratory diseases, the importance of networking, or the challenges of social care and ageing in the field of research were some of the topics discussed during the 15th edition. The ICS Research Awards were also presented during the event, with the majority being awarded to female researchers this year.
The second CARE Workshop, held on 9-10 October, brought together more than 70 researchers from across the cancer research community at the Can Ruti Biomedical Campus for two days of scientific exchange. The event served as a platform for sharing the current cancer research being developed on the Campus and fostering stronger connections among researchers.
The organisations are collaborating on two studies in the field of severe Legionella infections and antibiotic resistance. Both projects have been presented by IGTP researchers within the framework of the "Scientific exchanges: join us" program, an initiative by Menarini to share progress and strengthen partnerships in research.
The report compiles the institution's key numbers and objectives, as well as its research activities. For the first time, the report also includes a web version that summarises the most relevant aspects.
