The Vall d’Hebron Institute of Oncology (VHIO) promotes and carries out first-class research into methods for improving the prevention, early diagnosis and treatment of cancer.
To achieve this goal, its strategy focuses on developing innovative programmes of clinical, basic and translational research with a model based on the best international research centres.
Clinical research is at the heart of its scientific activities, making it a driving force and inspiration behind the development of basic and translational research programmes. This approach means research results from the laboratory can be quickly and effectively applied to patient care, encouraging the development of connections between the needs of patients and doctors and basic research programmes.
