Fundació Institut d’Investigació Biomèdica de Bellvitge (IDIBELL) is a biomedical research institute focused on cancer, neurosciences, translational and regenerative medicine, where physicians and basic scientists work together with the aim of improving quality of life of citizens. The centre is participated by two major Hospitals (Bellvitge University Hospital, that covers more than 2 million people, and Catalan Institute of Oncology, an oncology monographic hospital that covers more than 60% of the oncologic patients in Catalonia), the University of Barcelona and the L’Hospitalet City Council. With a staff of more than 1300 people and high rates of internationalization, IDIBELL puts the focus on performing excellent clinical-oriented research that integrates the generation of knowledge and innovation in health, contributing to improve the quality of life of citizens. Thanks to the location in a clinical campus and the daily care activity of many of the researchers, a high number of clinical trials are performed in the institute every year.
