ICFO-Sant Joan de Déu Joint Lab

Photonic solutions to improve neonatal and pediatric healthcare

About

Our mission is to improve neonatal and pediatric healthcare and ultimately have a positive impact on children’s well-being.

Our strength stems from a combination of ICFO’s expertise in advanced photonics technology and its exploitation for innovation of healthcare and SJD’s primary role in the care of infants, children and adolescents and in related biomedical and clinical research.

Shared research projects aim to:

Understand neonatal and pediatric diseases.
Develop new tools to diagnose, monitor and treat neonatal and pediatric diseases.

Welcome to ICFO-SJD Joint Lab

This is a joint project between Institut de Recerca Sant Joan de Déu and ICFO to promote interdisciplinary research activities to boost the development and application of photonic technologies as innovative solutions for the care of the neonatal and pediatric population. The program starts with three ambitious research lines and aspires to expand in the future.

Fundació la Nineta dels Ulls supports the joint research on retinoblastoma

The Fundació La Nineta dels Ulls will support the collaboration within the JointLab to study the use of Raman Microscopy for the stratification of retinoblastoma patients to achieve an effective and personalized treatment. This support from the Fundació La Nineta dels Ulls was presented during the annual event of the Barcelona Medical Photonics Network held in Hospital Sant Joan de Déu.
