Summary
The Research Group of Microbiology at Vall d’Hebron Research Institute (VHIR) focuses on the study of the microbiology aspects involved in the infectious diseases aimed at developing basic, translational and clinical research that could improve the outcomes of patients with infectious diseases. We work with special interest in studying the mechanisms involved in antimicrobial resistance, the sexually transmitted infectious diseases, the study of viral and fungal infection in immunocompromised patients, the microbial mechanisms involved in pathogenicity as well as microbial epidemiology.
