On 1 June, DTI Foundation had the pleasure of welcoming a delegation from the Shanghai Medical Products Administration (Shanghai MPA) and related institutions during their visit to Barcelona, facilitated by Grifols.

The visit began at the Parc Científic de Barcelona, where the delegation was welcomed by Maria Terrades, Director of the Parc Científic de Barcelona. During the visit, the delegation had the opportunity to learn more about the facilities and the role of the PCB as a key environment for biomedical research, innovation and international collaboration.

Following the visit to the PCB, the delegation joined a working meeting at DTI Foundation’s offices. The session focused on presenting DTI’s activity in the field of organ and tissue donation and transplantation, with special emphasis on training, international cooperation, research development and DTI’s previous experience and collaboration in China.

The meeting included the participation of Martí Manyalich, Joan Bigorra, Sergi Padilla and Joaquim Albiol. Martí Manyalich, Joan Bigorra and Sergi Padilla presented DTI Foundation’s mission, training programs and international cooperation initiatives. Joaquim Albiol introduced DTI’s Research Development area, while Martí Manyalich also shared DTI’s experience in cooperation with China.

The delegation included representatives from the Shanghai Medical Products Administration, the Shanghai Center for Drug Evaluation and Inspection, and the Shanghai Institute for Drug Control. The exchange provided an opportunity to share knowledge, explore areas of common interest and establish a first line of communication for potential future collaboration.

DTI Foundation would like to thank Esther Fages and the Grifols team for facilitating this visit, as well as the Parc Científic de Barcelona for welcoming the delegation and contributing to this valuable exchange.

At DTI Foundation, we believe that international dialogue and knowledge sharing are essential to strengthening donation and transplantation systems worldwide and to promoting cooperation between institutions committed to health, research and innovation.

谢谢, Shanghai delegation, Grifols and Parc Científic de Barcelona, for this inspiring meeting.
