The projects include new therapies, the use of commercialized drugs for other indications and genetic studies, and some could reach the population before the end of the year.
The IDIBELL and the Bellvitge University Hospital projects are led by the groups of Dr. Jordi Carratalá, Dr. Rafael Mañez, and Dr. Xavier Solanich.
The call has been promoted by the General Directorate of Research and Innovation in Health (DGRI) with the collaboration of AQuAS and Biocat.

In this pilot study, they used colon biopsies samples and feces samples from nine patients to compare two sequencing methods. It has been defined the appropriate bioinformatic analysis methods for this type of study.
An alternative to the use of antibiotics created by the group of Dr. Rafael Mañez, from the Bellvitge Biomedical Research Institute (IDIBELL) and the Bellvitge University Hospital (HUB), has been selected by the CaixaImpulse Consolidate program. The project will receive funding of up to 300,000 euros and personalized support in the transfer process to the
March 8 marks the International Women’s Day. With the aim of giving visibility and vindicating the decisive role that the women scientists have had throughout history, IDIBELL has announced an action in coming weeks. In recent years there have been important organizational changes in the IDIBELL research environment, such as the creation of Research Programs,
An international multicenter study provides, for the first time, global estimations of the impact of human papillomavirus (HPV), and its vaccine, on the main types of associated cancer.
The research, the most rigorous and the widest to the date, has collected more than 18,000 samples from 50 countries.
The results reveal the high impact of the HPV vaccine on cancer prevention, being able to prevent 90% of cervical cancer.

The IDIBELL Neurometabolic Diseases group, with international collaboration, has identified a model of chromosome X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (x-ALD) in the earthworm C. elegans, this is a rare disorder of the nervous system with no treatment available.
The model will permit to accelerate and reduce the price of the research, which is studying the mechanisms and the possible pharmacological targets for the neuronal alterations of this disease.
The earliest results of studies with this organism point to glial cells as a man responsible for the neurological damage caused by the disease.
