The trilingual magazine of the city of Barcelona, Barcelona Metropolis, dedicates its leading article and an extensive report to the biomedicine conducted in Barcelona. Various articles in this edition address topics related to this discipline, ranging from biomedicine as a business model and associated research fields, such as biomedical chemistry or big data, to key institutions such as the Catalan Institution for Research and Advanced Studies (ICREA).
IRB Barcelona is well represented in the magazine, with references and statements by Joan Guinovart, director of the institute, Patrick Aloy, Eduard Batlle, Natàlia Carulla, Ernest Giralt, Modesto Orozco, and Xavier Salvatella, all researchers at IRB Barcelona, and Joan Massagué, scientific director of the Sloan-Kettering Institute in New York and Chair of the External Advisory Board of IRB Barcelona.
