The Guttmann Institute and the University of Barcelona strengthen their partnership

The UB has been part of the BBHI since the beginning of the project in 2016. The principal investigator of the initiative, David Bartrés-Faz, is a professor of Medical Psychology at the UB’s Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences. The team he leads at the UB Institute of Neurosciences (UBneuro) collaborates closely with researchers at the Guttmann Institute in research on brain health. The interdisciplinary team resulting from the alliance, made up of researchers and professionals from different areas, will continue to work on relevant issues such as the prevention of neurodegenerative diseases and the promotion of healthy habits for the brain.

The collaboration between the UB and the Guttmann Institute allows the exchange of knowledge, resources and advanced technologies to deepen the understanding of brain function and its implications for global health. The new agreement is part of a joint effort by the two institutions to better understand the factors that influence brain health and to develop effective strategies to preserve it.

Both the UB and the Guttmann Institute are firmly committed to research and innovation in the field of brain Health. They recognize its growing importance in a society that is becoming increasingly older and, at the same time, are concerned about maintaining overall well-being. This agreement consolidates the will to continue promoting knowledge and practices that contribute to preserving brain health and improving people's quality of life.
