Group of Translational Research on Renal and Cardiovascular Diseases

We predict disease
through the use of medical criteria.

Anticipémonos a la enfermedad

con criterios de medicina de precisión.

To understand renal and cardiovascular disease in a holistic and integrated way

We have a special interest in identifying, being able to detect and improve the management of subclinical disease and, in particular, the individual risk of developing disease, as a means to predict and prevent it. To this end, we use a multidisciplinary approach that synergistically combines pre-clinical biomedical experimentation, clinical research and artificial intelligence in an international cooperative approach. Our ultimate goal is to gain pathophysiological knowledge and to develop useful products and applications for patients, working in close collaboration with the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry.
