This activity is aligned with our research lines, ensuring that the knowledge developed generates a direct economic and social impact.  <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-263d797 elementor-widget elementor-widget-menu-anchor\" data-id=\"263d797\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"menu-anchor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-menu-anchor\" id=\"alliances\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-78bce02 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"78bce02\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;gradient&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-64c46cb e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"64c46cb\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-174998b elementor-widget elementor-widget-qi_addons_for_elementor_animated_text\" data-id=\"174998b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"qi_addons_for_elementor_animated_text.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"qodef-shortcode qodef-m qodef-qi-animated-text qodef--animated-by-word qodef--alignment-center qodef-qi--has-appear qodef--appear-from-bottom\" >\n\t\t<h2 class=\"qodef-m-title\">\n\t\t<span class=\"qodef-e-word\">Cooperation<\/span> <span class=\"qodef-e-word\">\/<\/span> <span class=\"qodef-e-word\">Alliances<\/span> <span class=\"qodef-e-word\">with<\/span> <span class=\"qodef-e-word\">Hospitals<\/span>\t<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-efc42a3 llistat elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"efc42a3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>We work to continue shortening the distance between the laboratory and clinical practice to transform chemical science into well-being for society.<\/strong><\/p><p>The IQAC promotes translational chemistry through close and consolidated cooperation with leading hospitals, acting as a direct bridge between molecular design and clinical practice.
