research
With the money raised in this charity race will be funded several research projects that have been selected by a committee of experts of the Hospital Child Jesus and of other centres. A portion of the money raised last year was allocated for the design of an application for smartphones aimed at children and adolescents with inflammatory bowel disease (ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s disease, etc.). This app, which includes tips, self-help, diets, and recommendations, has already won the challenge of the Project MSD Innovating Together.
The Foundation for Biomedical Research of the Hospital Child Jesus works from the year 2008 to promote and coordinate the research activities of the Hospital. Currently, it has 16 groups distributed in five areas of research : disease, endocrine, pediatric cancer and hematological, immune systems, diseases of the central nervous system development and health of children and adolescents. The Foundation has a structure of support to research and innovation, a Clinical Research Unit dedicated to clinical trials in the pediatric population and a White Room for cell and gene therapy.
