Messer and IRBLleida renew their collaboration to promote biomedical research

The new agreement is an initiative that aims to promote, develop, manage and disseminate basic biomedical research, as well as training in research in the field of health sciences. In this way, and based on preferential objectives, quality research and a significant increase in quality of care will be made to provide better services to society.

Focused on health

Based in Vila-seca (Tarragona), Messer has consolidated itself as a manufacturer and distributor of medicinal gases as a pharmaceutical laboratory. In addition, the liquid gas production plant of the company is one of the largest in the Iberian Peninsula, which allows them to supply the company with essential gases for multiple sectors. Among them, stands out the wide range of products that Messer offers to the health sector and that includes from medicines to sanitary products and gases for laboratory.

For this reason, since the company moved to Spain, it has sought ways to create synergies with the health sector to benefit society as a whole, as the commitment that it acquired in 2013 with IRBLleida. Since then, Messer has maintained close collaboration with the center to contribute its grain of sand to biomedical research. Likewise, the gas company also participated actively in various open days organized by IRBLleida, such as the Night of Research, a day where attendees could carry out different activities with the help of the researchers of the center, or the Day of Family Research, addressed to the families of the professionals that make up the Institute.
