Master in Genetics, University of Barcelona

Professional experience

Dr. Gloria Garrabou, professor at the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences of the UB, leads the activity of a highly translational biomedical research laboratory, oriented to the patient, in close relationship with the care and teaching activity of the team. The research group, accredited by the Generalitat of Catalonia, is affiliated with institutions of excellence such as IDIBAPS, CIBERER and the UB (Clinical Campus). It directs its interest in the study of minority diseases, most of the metabolic or muscular type, combining the use of ÒMIQUES tools with high screening capacity, with functional tests and state-of-the-art disease models. He participates in 6 clinical trials and in the writing of clinical guidelines, he is a member of societies such as the SSIEM and the eMIT, and collaborates
