The winning proposal for the transformation of the Vall d’Hebron Campus is the project directed by Jordi Badia, Antoni Ubach and Miquel Espinet. The project presented by the architects includes a new research building for the Vall d'Hebron Research Institute, with an expandable area of 5,000 m2 and a budget of €15 million funded by ERDF (European Regional Development Fund). 

The pathologists at Vall d’Hebron University Hospital are not like those you see in American films and TV series. They are better. Their job enables a vital diagnosis to be made when it comes to deciding on patient treatment. They are an essential part of the hospital mix, according to the head of the Pathological Anatomy Department, Santiago Ramon y Cajal.

The Vall d’Hebron Medical Oncology Department witnessed a vital moment in its trajectory when Dr. Josep Baselga joined in 1996. He laid the first stone of the current Department, now directed by Dr. Josep Tabernero, and converted the hospital into a world-leading centre.

The Vall d’Hebron Research Institute is more than 20 years old. Dr. Simon Schwartz, the first Director, and Dr. Joan X. Comella, current Director, talk about how it started, the day-to-day and the future of a world-leading institute.
