Centre of knowledge: Research, teaching and innovation
As a University Institute affiliated with the Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB), the Institut Guttmann develops academic, scientific and research aspects in neuroscience in general and neurorehabilitation and technologies applied to personal autonomy in particular.
The confluence with the Specialized Hospital allows optimizing the generation and transfer of new knowledge in neuroscience and neurorehabilitation, continuously innovating in the techniques, procedures and technologies of its field of knowledge.
In cooperation with other centers of excellence, universities, technology centers, companies and entities, national and international, the Institut Guttmann develops a translational research model (applied research).
Translational Research
Translational Research aims to develop sustainable solutions to health problems, transferring the results of basic research to clinical practice as quickly as possible.
The clinical and translational research potential of the Guttmann Institute is based on the high concentration of cases that allows expert professionals to be maintained and developed. This results in an exercise in continuous clinical research.
The synergy between the Center of Excellence and the Knowledge Center promotes the permanent improvement of the quality of care of the services offered by the hospital, and enables the promotion of knowledge of the techniques and experiences that favor the health and quality of life of people affected by a disability of neurological origin.
Research with you and for you.
