The Girona Biomedical Research Institute (IDIBGI) is a CERCA research center of the Generalitat de Catalunya whose purpose is to promote, develop, transfer, manage and disseminate biomedical research, scientific and technological knowledge, teaching and training in the areas of life and health sciences, mainly in the Girona area.
Despite having its origins in 1995 as Fundació Privada Dr. Josep Trueta the institute was founded as a public institution in 2005, when the Generalitat de Catalunya (Catalan Government) entered into its governing bodies. IDIBGI became formally a research institution from the
public sector and CERCA center in 2010.
IDIBGI is structured with own research groups and research personnel in the field of health and biomedical research, and researchers from the Dr. Josep Trueta University Hospital (HUJT), the Institut Català de la Salut (ICS), the Institut d'Assistència Sanitària (IAS), the Institut de Diagnòstic per la Imatge (IDI), the Institut Català d’Oncologia (ICO), the Banc de Sang i Teixits (BST), the Universitat de Girona (UdG), the Escola Universitària de la Salut i Esports (EUSES) and the Institut d'Investigació en Atenció Primària (IDIAP) Jordi Gol in Girona. The IDIBGI facilities at the Parc Hospitalari Martí i Julià in Salt host part of the
research laboratories and personnel who, along with the rest of the researchers from the associated institutions, form multidisciplinary teams with different expertise, focused on finding synergies and solutions to the societal health challenges through translational research.
IDBGI will support the ELISAH project as a third party giving in-kind contributions.
