On May 8, 2025, the Banc de Sang i Teixits (BST) and the Hospital del Mar Research Institute announced a collaboration aimed at transforming research in advanced therapies. Both institutions signed an agreement to develop a Joint Research Program in Substances of Human Origin (SoHO) and Advanced Therapies, which will have an initial duration of four years and be directed by Luís Álvarez-Vallina, the current Research Director at BST.
The main objective of this program is to translate scientific research into concrete clinical applications, in order to accelerate the availability of new therapies for patients. This effort focuses not only on research but also on creating competitive projects at both the national and international levels, with particular attention to establishing clinical research units in collaboration with the National Cancer Research Center.
To facilitate this cooperation, an organizational structure will be implemented to integrate the human and technical resources of both institutions. They are committed to providing all necessary resources, such as specialized personnel, laboratories, and scientific equipment. Additionally, they will have access to research platforms, including biobank services, genomics, and flow cytometry equipment, among others.
Luis Álvarez-Vallina has emphasized that this initiative reflects both institutions’ commitment to innovation in health and its social impact. Joaquín Arribas López, director of the Hospital del Mar Research Institute, has highlighted the importance of institutional collaboration in pursuing a model of medicine that is more personalized and efficient.
This new alliance reinforces the existing cooperation between BST and the Hospital del Mar, optimizing resources and seeking results that not only provide scientific value but also improve patients’ quality of life.
