Vall d’Hebron Institute of Research (VHIR) is a multidisciplinary biomedical research center, with the aim to undertake high quality and competitive research at international level on the most prevalent diseases and the development of new methods of diagnosis and treatment. The Neurovascular Research Laboratory at VHIR is one of the leading stroke translational research groups in Europe.

Our clinical and laboratory work focuses on the identification of biomarkers to be used as diagnostic and prognostic tools in ischaemic and haemorrhagic stroke. By the use of plasmatic biomarkers we have identified relevant components of the cerebral ischaemic cascade.
