The Josep Carreras Leukaemia Research Institute (IJC) is a non-profit research institute based in Badalona (Barcelona) dedicated to biomedical research and personalized medicine in leukaemia and other malignant blood diseases. It conducts excellent research into the basic, epidemiological, preventive, clinical and translational aspects of leukaemia and other haematological malignancies. The Josep Carreras Leukaemia Research Institute, directed by Dr. Manel Esteller, was launched in 2010 by the Josep Carreras Foundation, together with the Catalan government, and is the first European research centre devoted exclusively to leukaemia and other malignant blood diseases. Research efforts are imperative to provide patients with high-quality healthcare, and our specialists combine their extensive knowledge to focus on patients’ needs. Our aim is to understand the origins and development of leukaemia and other malignant haematological pathologies with a view to their prevention, and our efforts are directed towards identifying new therapeutic targets and developing effective treatments with fewer side effects through cutting-edge research. |
