In the last year our group has evolved to incorporate a greater number of postdoctoral investigators and researchers in training, adding more translational components to our activities . The group has also increased connections with other national and international groups in fields related to our main objective: the study of muscle involvement in respiratory diseases . As a result, production has increased in quantity and quality (35 Originals in indexed journals, several editorials, reviews and one Statement of two international scientific societies, 2 PhD theses, etc) . In the same period members of the group have presented 38 communications and given 28 invited lectures (18 at international meetings) . The group has been rated as Excellent by the external scientific committee of CIBERES, and our group leader is the Clinical Deputy Director of this network of excellence . Moreover, different members of the group continue to be integrated in the editorial board of different journals including Am J Respir Crit Care Med, J Appl Physiol, and Arch Bronconeumol (the Editor in Chief of the last journal is a member our group) and are reviewers of a total of 12 indexed journals, and 5 national and international agencies, including different programmes of the European Commission, agencies from the UK, the Netherlands and France, as well as FIS and Plan Nacional . As for resources, we have obtained different competitive grants (10 ongoing projects) and have increased significantly the number of clinical trials (15 ongoing trials, 6 of them initiated in 2014) . With regard to research teaching, the group leader continues as the dean of the Faculty of Health and Life Sciences (Universitat Pompeu Fabra), coordinates a Master on Clinical Research in Respiratory Diseases and is a member of the Ph .D . program committee at the above mentioned university . Finally, our group has been actively involved in the genesis of the Barcelona Respiratory Network Foundation, an initiative which integrates academic researchers and industrial companies related to respiratory health .
