Marta Ciércoles and Xavier Aguilar write an extensive report, published in “Presència”, the Sunday supplement of “El Punt Avui” newspaper, on the current position of biomedical research in Catalonia. Directors of the main research centres, among them Joan Guinovart, director of IRB Barcelona, review the progress made in both basic research centres and hospitals and reflect on the future of these types of institutes, which will necessarily involve greater collaboration.
