Annual Report

The Institut d’Investigacions Biomèdiques August Pi i Sunyer (IDIBAPS) is a biomedical research institute of excellence. It combines clinical and basic research in order to accelerate the translation of the knowledge to the benefit of the patients.

Founded in 1996, it is a public consortium formed by the Generalitat de Catalunya, Hospital Clínic de Barcelona, Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences of the Universitat de Barcelona and, as an associated center, the CSIC’s Barcelona Biomedical Research Institute.

The Fundació Clínic per a la Recerca Biomèdica (FCRB) is a key institution to understand the functioning of IDIBAPS as a whole. It is a non-profit foundation that provides researchers with overall administrative and management support.

The research activities of IDIBAPS are structured into 5 areas. Additionally, 3 transversal groups perform research in “primary care”, “nursing” and “pharmacology and clinical trials”.
