At the IGTP TODAY
In this year’s edition of #científiques, fourteen researchers from IGTP have shared their expertise in various schools and secondary schools across Catalonia, offering students a first-hand and inspiring insight into their work in biomedical research.
We look back at the year's most significant news stories, showcasing the dedication and collaboration that define IGTP.
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.
IGTP has received grants for six research projects in two calls from the Spanish Research Agency, under the State Plan for Scientific and Technical Research and Innovation 2021-2023.
A new study, published in New England Journal of Medicine, has demonstrated the benefits of placing a clip on the valve instead of the usual medical treatment.

The results of a pioneering study by IGTP and BST support the safety of the bioimplants called PeriCord, made from stem cells of the umbilical cord and pericardium from a tissue donor, which aid in the regeneration and revascularisation of the affected area.
To commemorate International Women's Day, we asked four questions to researchers from various profiles at IGTP and professionals from different research support areas. The aim is to understand the difficulties they have faced as women in their professional field and to gain insight into their perspectives on the future.
The Can Ruti Campus and the healthcare and research teams of the different institutions that comprise it continue to prove, once again this year, to be a relevant node on a global scale in terms of scientific production and progress.
The 14th Research Conference of the ICS focused on the transformative potential of research in the health system and awarded prizes to eight researchers. Antoni Bayés and Alejandro Bustamante, who work at the Hospital and researchers at IGTP, were awarded a prize for the best hospital scientific career and ICS young researcher, respectively.
