In 2021 we have joined a large multidisciplinary project on cardioprotective therapy (HR21-00386CaixaResearch) with almost 1million founding.  It's being done in collaboration with CSIC and the Hopkins University and it is aimed at reducing the myocardial infarction size using a highly innovative photoswitchable approach. Another remarkable achievement has been the formal approval by the European Commission for us to join the European Reference Network in thematic areas 2 and 4 (familial cardiomyopathies and congenital heart disease). Another project has been funded by ISC-III and additional 4 by the Spanish Societyof Cardiology.  Articles have been published on ischemic heart disease, aorta, arrhythmias, cardiac imaging and cardiomyopathies. Concerning the latter it is worth to mention the first clinical risk prediction score for patients with Left Ventricular Myocardial Noncompaction, which has been developed for our group and it has been published in the prestigious Journal JACC.
