Science at the IGTP becomes performance art in the hands of the Fura dels Baus’s Epicalab
Two groups at the IGTP have taken part in the workshop “Complex Systems” organized by the Èpica Foundation. The experience is a first for the IGTP and has meant that art and science have worked together to produce results for both of them. Èpica is a space for interdisciplinary learning and training for the performing arts run by the Fura dels Baus. The results of the workshop are based on research projects from the IGTP and will be shown this Friday and Saturday 29 and 30 November at the Èpica headquarters in Badalona.
A study of an atypical form of DM1 will improve the diagnosis and management of this rare disease
The Neuromuscular and Neuropediatric Group at the IGTP, led by Gisela Nogales-Gadea have identified a subset of patients with an atypical type of myotonic dystrophy type 1 (MD1), which develops later and with more severe symptoms than usual. This has important implications for diagnosis of these patients, who can be misdiagnosed or not given the correct prognosis. It is also vital for managing the disease correctly in patients and their families. The study has been published in Human Mutation.
New data on the immune system behaviour in paediatric patients with type 1 diabetes
Researchers at the IGTP and Germans Trias Hospital have published new research in Frontiers in Immunology on the behaviour of dendritic cells (DC) during the development of type 1 diabetes (T1D) in children. These cells are involved in both the destruction of beta cells in T1D and the regulation of the immune response. This paper fills an important gap in knowledge about the disease in children.
17 professionals from Germans Trias can dedicate time to Research thanks to the 2019 Talents grants
The VIII edition of the Pedrera Talents prizes were presented last Thursday at the Pedrera. Three institutions participate in the awards, promoted by the Catalunya la Pedrera Foundation: they are the Germans Trias i Pujol Research Institute (IGTP), the Clinic Hospital Barcelona and the Vall d'Hebron Institute of Oncology. The Talents represent recognition and financial support after the residency training period for young specialist doctors and other health professionals. This year 17 professionals from Germans Trias were awarded the Talents grants and they will join the IGTP to carry out their research projects.
