The Institute of Biomedical Research of Girona Dr. Josep Trueta (IdIBGi) is a research center linked to the CERCA Institution (Research Centers of Catalonia).

The IdiBGi was created in July 2004 as a result of the merger of two pre-existing institutions, the Dr. Private Foundation. Josep Trueta and the Research Agency. It is currently structured around the research groups of the University of Girona and the University Hospital of Girona Doctor Josep Trueta, the Institute of Diagnostic Imaging, the Catalan Institute of Oncology and the Catalan Health Service.

The IdIBGi facilities in the Martí i Julià de Salt Hospital Park are home to part of the laboratories and research staff that, together with the other researchers from the associated institutions, form multidisciplinary teams with different expertise, focused on finding synergies. and solutions to the health challenges of our environment, through translational research.
