Spain's first research centre specialising in immunology


Unravelling the immune system to resolve the most important health challenges.


The CaixaResearch Institute will be dedicated to studying how the immune system works when it interacts with the most prevalent pathologies, such as neurological, oncological and infectious diseases, as well as analysing related environmental factors.


The centre will carry out its own research which will prioritise a multi- and interdisciplinary approach, the development of cutting-edge technologies and the transfer of results to society. Research will be key to advance our knowledge and understanding of how the immune system works and the role it plays in global health and in infectious, oncological and neurological diseases.
