JIrsiCaixa receives an award at the Innomed Awards for his innovative bladder cancer project
The award-winning project is part of the GrowInn program, an innovation incubator at the Can Ruti Campus that promotes the transfer of scientific knowledge to the healthcare system
Joan Pagès, a IGTP researcher at IrsiCaixa, was one of five winners of the second edition of the Innomed Awards, which recognize innovative biomedical projects developed as part of the GrowInn program. His proposal, focused on developing a urine proteomic kit to predict bladder preservation in patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer, received the Inveniam Award.
These awards are part of the Innomed initiative, coordinated by IGTP and involving seven institutions from the Can Ruti Campus, including IrsiCaixa. The program aims to foster health innovation and facilitate the transfer of scientific knowledge to society by promoting collaboration between institutions, healthcare professionals, and industry.
With over 150 attendees, the event also provided a platform to discuss the key role of public-private collaboration in transforming knowledge into real solutions for the healthcare system.
