At the IGTP TODAY
IGTP has obtained funding for six projects, consolidating its trajectory in the field of biomedical and translational research on respiratory diseases. These projects, which address challenges such as tuberculosis, pulmonary fibrosis and legionellosis, represent the excellence and diversity of the research developed at the Can Ruti Campus.
The IGTP Actively participated in Mobile World Congress 2025 (MWC25) and the 4 Years From Now (4YFN) platform, contributing its expertise in artificial intelligence, clinical data, genomics, and digital health innovation. Researchers and projects from the institute played a key role in several sessions and discussions, as well as in showcasing emerging biomedical technologies.
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.
The 2024 call for Knowledge Industry grants by AGAUR has awarded €528,000 to seven projects from IGTP. The grants will enhance the valorisation and transfer of these innovative projects.
We look back at the year's most significant news stories, showcasing the dedication and collaboration that define IGTP.
Fundación "la Caixa" is offering 30 fellowships to researchers of all nationalities who wish to pursue official PhD studies in STEM disciplines at research centres and centres of excellence in Spain and Portugal. IGTP is open to hosting students under this program, who will have the opportunity to join one of IGTP's research groups and carry out their PhD research in their area of interest.
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.
On 21 March, the final meeting of INNOVA4TB, a consortium led by IGTP with researchers from around the world, took place. Participants presented the results of the different work packages and evaluated the work done since 2019. IGTP will continue to be involved in other networks such as ADVANCE-TB and SMA-TB.
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.
On 7 February, "#100tífiques" returned for its sixth edition, a macro-event that has become a benchmark for advocacy within the Catalan female research community and schools. Expanding on last year's participant numbers, thirteen scientists from IGTP took part in this event.
