Fundacio Institut De Recerca De L’Hospital De La Santa Creu I Sant Pau

Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular care

Research activity includes myocardial revascularization, persistent atrial fibrillation, acute ischemic stroke, and intracerebral hemorrhage, with interest in perioperative protection, rhythm control, and post-stroke hemodynamic management.

  • Myocardial revascularization surgery
  • Persistent atrial fibrillation
  • Acute ischemic stroke
  • Spontaneous lobar intracerebral hemorrhage

Additional work extends to blood pressure optimization after thrombectomy and the neurological consequences of hemorrhagic brain injury.

Neurodegenerative and mental health disorders

The sponsor funds studies in Alzheimer disease, Down syndrome-associated cognitive decline, Parkinson’s disease, major depressive disorder, and borderline personality disorder, reflecting a strong focus on cognition, mood, and movement-related conditions.

  • Alzheimer disease
  • Down syndrome
  • Parkinson’s disease
  • Major depressive disorder
  • Borderline personality disorder

Its portfolio also includes interest in sleep-related markers, functional brain imaging, and seizure prevention in neurodevelopmental disease.

Oncology and cellular immunotherapy

Clinical research covers Hodgkin lymphoma, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, and squamous cell carcinoma of the upper aerodigestive tract, alongside studies of engineered T-cell therapies targeting hematologic malignancies.

  • Classical Hodgkin lymphoma
  • CD30-positive lymphoid malignancies
  • Relapsed or refractory B-cell lymphoma
  • Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma

These trials show particular interest in advanced malignancies and chimeric antigen receptor-based immunotherapy.

Hepatology, critical care, and perioperative medicine

Studies address hepatic fibrosis, critical illness in the intensive care unit, antibiotic exposure in unstable patients, and surgical recovery in procedures such as complicated acute appendicitis and lumbar arthrodesis.

  • Hepatic fibrosis
  • Critically ill patients
  • Complicated acute appendicitis
  • Lumbar fusion surgery

The research profile also includes respiratory support in premature infants with respiratory distress syndrome and oxygenation strategies in rehabilitation settings.

Women’s health, ophthalmology, and pain management

Additional areas of interest include female infertility, preeclampsia, intrauterine growth restriction, glaucoma, pterygium, and persistent pain syndromes such as chronic shoulder pain and headache pain related to subarachnoid hemorrhage.

  • Infertility and pregnancy complications
  • Glaucoma and ocular surface disease
  • Pterygium surgery
  • Chronic shoulder pain
  • Headache after subarachnoid hemorrhage

Work in this area also includes regenerative approaches for the ocular surface and procedural strategies for pain control.
