Obstetrics, Pediatrics and Genetics

Overview

The Obstetrics, Pediatrics and Genetics area is focused on the research on the congenital malformations and pediatric diseases. The Fetal Maternal Medicine group creates synergies through the combined work of basic science researchers and clinical investigators in the preclinical basis of placental insufficiency complications and congenital heart disease. The Bio-Cell Fetal group, recently incorporated, studies basic pathophysiological mechanisms of fetal and pediatric congenital malformations, while the Growth and Development group does research on pediatric endocrine diseases. There is also a Genetics Medicine group that combines genetic diagnosis and research and is pioneer in Spain.

Our Barcelona growth longitudinal study 1995-2017 was published in 2018 and awarded by AEP society. This study set a new standard for growth assessment. All data are available at www.millennialsgrowth.com and apps.

We have participated in several European and National Networks to reinforce our research lines on paediatric endocrinology and respiratory rare diseases (COST-BM1303, COST-BM1407, COST-CA16125, CSUR 50.05, Endo-ERN, ERN LUNG) and we continue our collaboration with national and international research groups. We are Reference Catalan Center of Early Detection Program of Congenital Hypothyroidism and Cystic Fibrosis.

We are analysing patients with rare paediatric endocrine and pulmonary disorders with our self-designed gene panels related to growth disorders, sexual differentiation anomalies (PI15/0167), congenital adrenal insufficiency, hyperinsulinism, congenital hypothyroidism, primary ciliary dyskinesia (PI16/01233) and paediatric interstitial lung disorders (SEPAR 492).
