A new European study with the participation of GCAT reveals that the combination of urban environmental factors increases asthma risk
Researchers from GCAT have taken part in a study on the effects of various environmental factors on the risk of developing asthma over the course of life. The study involved nearly 350,000 participants from European cohorts and used geolocation technologies and satellite imagery to estimate exposure to different environmental elements. The results show a clear link between urban conditions and an increased risk of asthma.
New insights into heart scar tissue could improve treatment after heart attacks
A team of researchers from the IGTP has taken a step forward in understanding the complex structure of heart scars that form after a myocardial infarction. Using a porcine model, the group found an association between specific electrical patterns and structural characteristics of the scar, offering a new approach that may guide more targeted and effective treatments for arrhythmias. The results have been published in the journal Heart Rhythm.
The Germans Trias Research Institute and ICO Badalona describe genomic alterations that may help predict treatment response in an aggressive type of breast cancer
Researchers at IGTP, HUGTiP and ICO Badalona have identified genetic alterations, including frequent TP53 mutations, that could serve as biomarkers to guide treatment decisions in HER2-positive breast cancer.
The Ibero-American network RIGHT PLUS, coordinated from the Can Ruti Campus, launches LAMIS 2025, a key study on the health of gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men in Latin America and the Caribbean
The second edition of the LAMIS survey is being coordinated from the Can Ruti Campus. This key international study explores the psycho-socio-sexual health of gay, bisexual and other MSM across 24 countries in Latin America and the Caribbean, with active involvement of the CEEISCAT research group.
Women more susceptible to certain subjective effects of alcohol during binge drinking episodes
A study led by IGTP and HUGTiP finds that women feel stronger effects from binge drinking, even at equal blood alcohol levels. The research also warns that mixing alcohol with energy drinks does not reduce impairment and may encourage risky behaviour.

Study highlights opportunities to strengthen early HIV diagnosis in primary care in Catalonia
The results of a study published in EuroSurveillance highlight biases and inequalities based on sex, age, origin and region, and point to the need for training, clear protocols and alert systems to improve early diagnosis. The study was led by researchers from CEEISCAT, IDIAPJGol and IGTP.
An international study validates the efficacy of a drug in adults with neurofibromatosis type 1
An international study, published in The Lancet, demonstrates for the first time that the drug selumetinib is effective in reducing tumours and associated pain in adults with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1). IGTP and Hospital played a key role in the clinical trial, which marks a significant advance in the treatment options for this rare genetic disease.
Successful turnout at the 1st CORE IGTP Scientific Conference, a meeting to advance population health research
The first CORE IGTP Scientific Conference was held at the Badalona International Business Centre (BCIN), an initiative of the CORE Program that aims to establish itself as an annual space for meeting, debate and scientific exchange among professionals involved in population health research.
