COVID-19 Research

A great deal of research is necessary to understand how the SARS-CoV-2 virus works and to find an effective treatment for COVID-19. We need your help! There is no small amount.

That is why our healthcare professionals -virologists, immunologists, internal medicine specialists, molecular biologists, radiation oncologists, epidemiologists, bioinformaticians, pneumologists, nephrologists, pharmacologists, engineers, neurologists, psychiatrists, cardiologists, pathologists, oncologists, intensivists, anaesthetists, surgeons, etc.- are once again demonstrating their commitment to the progress of science and medicine, and are working on more than 80 research initiatives, seeking the necessary resources and funding to be able to develop these.

Bon dia Perico Pastor

Every day since the beginning of the pandemic, the artist Perico Pastor has shared one of his creations to honour the healthcare work of the PSMAR professionals in the fight against the coronavirus.

The images have been published on Twitter and Instagram with the hashtag #BonDiaPericoPastor and they are shareable. You can also buy the artwork for 50 euros each, and the money will be used for research into COVID. If you are interested, please send an email to comunicacio(ELIMINAR)@pardesalutmar.cat.
