About us

The Institute for Research in Biomedicine of Lleida (IRBLleida) has been a pioneering institution in biomedical research and innovation since 2004. With a multidisciplinary team of more than 600 people, we work in key areas such as oncology, neuroscience, cardiology and endocrinology, among others. We foster collaboration with national and international institutions to share knowledge and cutting-edge technologies. In addition, we are committed to the training of new talent and constant innovation in biomedicine. Our goal is to understand the fundamental mechanisms of human pathologies and to generate scientific discoveries that transform people's health and quality of life.

IRBLleida has been a CERCA institute since 2013, and as such is organized according to a model of good governance and operation that ensures efficiency, management flexibility, talent recruitment and promotion, strategic planning and executive capacity. It is also one of the 35 Spanish Health Research Institute (IIS) recognized by the Carlos III Health Institute and the Government of the Generalitat, as established by Law 16/2003, of 28 May, on the cohesion and quality of the national health system.

History

The Lleida Biomedical Research Institute (IRBLleida) was founded in 2004 with the signing of a cooperation agreement between the Catalan Health Institute (ICS), the Dr Pifarré Foundation and the University of Lleida (UDL). It comprises biomedical research groups from the region of Lleida, more specifically from the UDL and the health system. The groups cover all three aspects of biomedical research: basic, translational and clinical epidemiological research.
