We are a multidisciplinary group of pediatricians and biologists dedicated to clinical and translational research in rare respiratory and endocrinology pediatric diseases and in common chronic diseases like asthma, diabetes and obesity. Also we investigate on neonatal nutrition and pediatric imaging.
We participate in European and National Networks on rare pediatric endocrine and respiratory diseases (Endo-ERN, ERN LUNG, CSUR 18R1, CSUR 50, CSUR 59, Cystic Fibrosis and PCD CTN), and Pediatric Allergy and Asthma European groups. We are Reference Center for the Early Detection Program of Congenital Hypothyroidism and Cystic Fibrosis in Catalonia.
We conduct a self-designed gene panel on pediatric respiratory disorders, perform high-speed video-microscopy and immunofluorescence analyses to patients with primary ciliary dyskinesia (PI20/01419; SEPAR 492) and execute functional studies on genetic variants of endocrine disorders.
