The 2023 call of the new CaixaImpulse Innovation program will award 3.3 million euros to 29 biomedical research projects, 15 of which come from Catalan research centers. The aim is to contribute to bringing research results to society and the market, fostering the creation of new products, services and companies related to life sciences and health. The two selected projects focus on developing a new sampling system to facilitate early diagnosis of pancreatic cancer and a new immunotherapy treatment for breast cancer. This initiative offers the selected entrepreneurial scientists financial support and accompaniment through individualized mentoring and training, in collaboration with Caixa Capital Risc and in partnership with the Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia (FCT), of the Portuguese Ministry of Science, Technology and Higher Education, which is funding two projects in this call.

On October 7 from 10:00 to 14:30 h comes a new edition of the Open Day of the Barcelona Biomedical Research Park (PRBB) in which researchers will explain firsthand what they do, how they do it and where they do it. The different research centers that are part of the PRBB will offer a wide range of free activities for the whole family. On Saturday morning, children over 12 years old will be able to learn about science from its protagonists with guided tours. From 10:00 to 13:30h we have prepared several routes that will simultaneously tour the building and visit different laboratories. In the case of the Hospital del Mar Research Institute you will be able to visit the Bioinformatics Unit, the laboratoris of stem cell and cancer, immune redirection, applied metabolomics and evolutionary genomics where each of them will explain what their work consists of and the research they are currently doing.

We are pleased to announce the official launch of the MARMetabolomics service, a pioneering initiative in the field of metabolomics at the Hospital del Mar Research Institute. MARMetabolomics is an advanced platform developed by the Applied Metabolomics Research Group (LIMA), which has extensive experience in the development of analytical methods for the determination of metabolites (small molecules involved in metabolic reactions that take place in biological systems) in both non-invasive (urine, breast milk, hair or cultures) and invasive (CSF, blood or tissues) matrices and their application in the field of health. The platform is a member of the European Infrastructure for Translational Medicine (EATRIS), the Spanish Metabolomics Network and the multidisciplinary center TECNIO, BAPP.

Eight projects led by researchers from the institute have been selected in this call. They will analyze diverse aspects, from fighting cancer to neuronal organization and the training needs of the new generations of nurses. The Hospital del Mar Research Institute will receive 2,148,000 euros from the State Agency of Investigation to develop eight research projects. Six of these initiatives include a pre-doctoral contract. In the field of oncology research, Dr. Anna Bigas, coordinator of the Stem Cells and Cancer Research Group, leads the project 'Models for the Study of Hematopoietic and Leukemic Stem Cells in Latent State (DormHSC)', which will receive over half a million euros. The objective is to advance the understanding of the latency state of hematopoietic stem cells through four different experimental models to lay the foundation for strategies to combat treatment-resistant cancer populations.

The study is being led by Dr. Jaume Marrugat, a researcher at the IMIM-Hospital del Mar and coordinator of the Girona Heart Registry (REGICOR). It will analyse the association of the complete genome with the incidence of cardiovascular diseases in people who do not have this pathology and who have been under observation for more than ten years. This is the first project of its kind to be carried out in southern Europe, with a cohort of more than 101,000 participants from all over Spain, and will enable better personalised prevention of these pathologies in the country.
