Hospital del Mar and its research institute are part of this project, which aims to develop nanophotonic sensors for the diagnosis and clinical management of bacterial infections at the point of care. On February 14, Hospital del Mar hosted the fourth follow-up meeting of the PHITBAC project. This initiative is driven by a consortium with public and private participation to develop rapid tests for the swift detection of bacteria, their antibiotic resistance, and antibiotic levels in the blood, all based on nanophotonics. Rapid diagnosis of microorganisms that cause severe infections remains an unresolved challenge in infectious disease management, and immediate bedside monitoring of antibiotic levels in severe infections is an unmet need.

The Hospital del Mar Research Institute and the company Bionure have signed an agreement to establish a strategic collaboration between the two institutions. The objective is the development of new RNA-based therapies for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The research center will be responsible for conducting proof-of-concept studies for potential medications, both in patient cells and in animal models, which is a necessary step before starting clinical trials in humans. RNA therapies for these types of pathologies are a promising tool not only to slow disease progression but also to potentially repair neuronal damage in neurodegenerative diseases with a genetic component.
