About me

Dr. Gloria Garrabou, a professor at the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences of UB, leads a highly translational biomedical research laboratory, patient-centered, closely linked to the clinical and teaching activities of the team. Her research group, accredited by the Generalitat de Catalunya, is affiliated with prestigious institutions such as IDIBAPS, CIBERER, and UB (Campus Clínic). Her focus is on the study of rare diseases, mostly metabolic or muscular, combining the use of high-performance OMICS tools, functional tests, and state-of-the-art disease models. She participates in 6 clinical trials and in the drafting of clinical guidelines. She is a member of societies such as SSIEM and eMIT and collaborates with interdisciplinary XUEC/CSUR units for the transfer and care of patients
