Neurosciences

Overview

The Neuroscience area is consolidating its position as one of the largest clusters of research labs working on neurological diseases across Europe. Thirteen groups are currently part of this area, working closely with top clinicians at the hospital. The area encompasses different aspects related to neuroscience, such as neural development, neurodegeneration, neuroimmunology, neurological pain, mental health, neurosurgery, pediatric neurology or neuroimaging

There are groups also focused on cell signaling and apoptosis and translational bioinformatics.

The FLOWCAT project (Dr.Ribo), creation of the first European center for in-vitro models of mechanical thrombectomy, allows testing new thrombectomy devices and their updates before they reach the clinic. Training agreement with the UB of Biomedical Engineering master students for the creation of the thrombectomy in-vitro models.

CLOTBANK-ITACAT (Dr.Pagola/Juega) multicenter project funded by the Marató TV3 Foundation, which includes a thrombus biobank, to characterize clot types according to their composition and their relationship with the embolic source.

Catalan Stroke Trial Network (Dr.Molina/ E.Sanjuan) coordination and promotion of clinical trials of public (investigator-initiated trials) or private funds.

Horizon 2020 European Projects: PROOF trial (Dr.Molina).

Competitive projects: Recruitment of patients in the 4 competitive projects funded by La Marató de TV3 2016, and coordination with the other sites in coordinated projects (Dr. Rodríguez/ Dra. Rubiera/ Dr.Ribo/ Dr.Molina).
