Sixteen research groups with staff assigned to IRBLleida are recognised as consolidated research groups for their scientific impact

Sixteen research groups with staff attached to the Institute of Biomedical Research of Lleida (IRBLleida) have been recognised as consolidated research groups for their scientific impact and international projection by the Agency for the Management of University and Research Grants (AGAUR). Of these, 8 have received funding for three years to promote activities to strengthen the scientific, economic and social impact of research, as well as to promote their international projection. These are the research groups:

Research groups with funding:

• Gynecological and related cancers group (GinA), led by the researcher Xavier Matias-Guiu Guia.
• Biomarkers in cancer research group (GReBiC), led by researchers Jose Manuel Porcel Pérez, Antonia Salud Salvia and Maria Alba Sorolla Bardaji.
• Translational research in respiratory medicine, led by the researcher Ferran Barbé Illa.
• Clinical neurosciences, led by the researcher Francisco Purroy Garcia.
• Education for Health, Nursing, Sustainability and Innovation (GREISI), led by researcher Teresa Botigué.
• Metabolic Physiopathology, led by researcher Reinald Pamplona.
•  Eukaryotic Cell Cycle, led by researchers Eloi Gari and Jordi Torres.
• volutionary and Developmental Neurobiology, led by researchers Ester Desfilis and Loreta Medina.

Research groups without funding:

• ERLab, research in emergencies and emergencies, led by researcher Oriol Yuguero Torres.
• Cognition and behaviour study group, led by researcher Gerard Piñol Ripoll.
• Vascular and renal translational research group, led by researcher José Manuel Valdivielso Revilla.
• Molecular oncology, led by researcher Diego Arango del Corro.
• Research group in immunology and metabolism (GRIM), led by the researchers Juan Verdaguer Autonell, Concepción Mora Giral and Albert Lecube Torelló.
• Neurobiology of Minority Diseases (NEURADIS), led by the researcher Rosa Maria Soler (Neuronal Signalling Unit, Experimental Neuromuscular Pathology and Biochemistry of Oxidative Stress).
• Mathematical Systems & Synthetic Biology in Biomedicine and Biotechnology (MathSy2Bio), led by researcher Rui Alves.
• Developmental and oncogenic signalling, led by researcher Mario Encinas.

The AGAUR offers this accreditation to all the research groups of the universities of the Catalan university system, public and private research centres, hospital foundations and singular scientific and technical infrastructures with their own legal personality in Catalonia.
