At IRYCIS 6 Priority Research Areas are established, each one coordinated by 2 directors, with a basic mission to: i) ensure the achievement of the objectives set for their area overall; ii) guarantee communication and collaboration between the different research groups; iii) guide the emerging groups and the associate clinical researchers to achieve their progressive integration into the consolidated group level.

Chronic Pathologies and Surgery Research

Groups dedicated to different fields of biomedical research come together in Area 5 to address a broad spectrum of diseases with a high population impact and prevalence, increasingly due to sedentary lifestyles and population ageing; complex aspects of the disease, which cannot be characterised independently as they concur on most occasions in the same type of patient throughout the progression of the disease. All groups have a common denominator: the generation of clinical and translational projects with patient-centred objectives. In area 5, research is conducted on the physiopathology of cardiovascular, pneumological, multisystemic diseases, endocrine and metabolic disorders and digestive surgery.
