Institut d'Investigacions Biomèdiques August Pi i Sunyer Campuses

The Campus Clínic of the Institut d'Investigacions Biomèdiques August Pi i Sunyer (IDIBAPS) in Barcelona is a premier hub for translational biomedical research, integrating basic science, clinical trials, and innovative therapies within the Hospital Clínic de Barcelona and the University of Barcelona. Housed primarily in the Esther Koplowitz Centre (CEK) and CELLEX Biomedical Research Centre, it focuses on advancing knowledge in major diseases through multidisciplinary approaches, fostering PhD programs, postdoctoral training, and specialized workshops like the IDIBAPS Summer Camp for young researchers.

• Oncology: Research on tumor biology, immunotherapy, precision medicine, and early detection strategies, including epigenetics and novel targeted therapies.
• Neurosciences: Studies on neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, neuroinflammation, and advanced imaging techniques for brain disorders.
• Immunology and Inflammation: Investigations into autoimmune diseases, transplant immunology, and cytokine networks driving chronic inflammation.
• Cardiovascular and Respiratory Diseases: Focus on heart failure, pulmonary hypertension, and respiratory infections like COVID-19 sequelae.
• Liver Diseases: Research on hepatitis, fibrosis, cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma mechanisms.
• Infectious Diseases: Work on HIV, tuberculosis, and emerging pathogens, emphasizing vaccine development and antimicrobial resistance.
• Endocrinology and Metabolism: Diabetes, obesity, and metabolic syndrome studies with genetic and pharmacological interventions.
• Core Facilities Training: Courses in biobanking, genomics, cytometry, MRI, and medical statistics for researchers.

This campus supports over 200 research groups, producing high-impact publications and EU-funded projects, training the next generation in biomedicine.
