Around twenty researchers from the institute opened the biomedical research laboratories at the Hospital Universitari Sant Joan de Reus to the public
On Tuesday, July 22nd in the morning, the Institut d’Investigació Sanitària Pere Virgili (IISPV) held the first of several commemorative activities to mark its 20th anniversary: an open day. Around twenty researchers from the institute welcomed members of the public into the biomedical research laboratories located at the Hospital Universitari Sant Joan de Reus. The event included two sessions, which gathered nearly forty participants.
According to Lluís Gallart, director of the IISPV Biobank and head of platforms, “Visits like this help us show the work we do in the laboratories, which contributes to better diagnosis and treatment of diseases. These open days are also a way to recognize the work carried out over the past two decades by professionals dedicated to research through the IISPV, many of whom are also part of the Hospital Universitari Sant Joan de Reus, Joan XXIII in Tarragona, Verge de la Cinta in Tortosa, Institut Pere Mata and Universitat Rovira i Virgili.”
During the visit, researchers presented some of the current research lines at the IISPV. The tour was divided into eight stations, each led by members of research groups and scientific support platform coordinators.
