Tackling major health challenges through a new integrated approach

At the CaixaResearch Institute we want to understand how the immune system functions and how it relates to the most prevalent diseases—such as neurological, oncological, and infectious conditions—while also considering the impact of environmental factors.

To achieve this, we are committed to a research model structured around three main scientific axes and transversal programmes, with a multi- and interdisciplinary approach that integrates the development of cutting-edge technologies and the transfer of knowledge to society.

Innovation, a strategic pillar to ensure social impact

We believe in research that not only advances knowledge but also leads to tangible progress in people’s lives. That’s why we foster a culture of innovation that supports researchers from the earliest stages of the process through to the effective transfer of their results.

Doing science with and for society

We believe that science must be a collaborative endeavour between research and society. That’s why we foster dialogue, encourage public engagement, and promote scientific vocations among younger generations. By strengthening alliances with different stakeholders, we aim to build a culture of shared knowledge and co-creation, where scientific progress not only reaches society but is enriched by its participation.

A state-of-the-art building strengthening Barcelona’s biomedical ecosystem

The CaixaResearch Institute’s facilities, located next to the CosmoCaixa Science Museum, will offer 20,000 m² of sustainable, cutting-edge infrastructure to drive immunology research.
