Highlights
Among the scientific activities of the research group emphasizes the European patent for the method and kit of diagnosis for idiopathic scoliosis by miR- NAs (EP15382319.0). New funded research projects are the following: “Identifying circulating histones by mass spectrometry methods in plasma of patients with severe sepsis and septic shock” by INCLIVA, and “Analysis of microRNAs as biomarkers of drug monitoring for Lafora disease models”, by the mi- cro-cluster of ER (MCI-FER) of VLC / Campus and CIBERER´s spin-off (EpiDisease), together with the development of other projects initiated in 2013 and 2014, as the “HIST-BIRTH innovative project and rap- id point-of-care histone test strips for early diagno- sis of sepsis in pregnancy and childbirth “ project.
Regarding teaching activities we highlight the inclu- sion of the optional teaching subject “Rare Diseases” (RD) in the curricula of the medical degree (course 2015-2016) taught at the University of Valencia, being the first course in this area that it´s taught at medical schools at national level, and it has been

awarded with FEDER recognition to the best ini- tiative to increase the quality of life of people with rare diseases. Additionally, our team participates as teaching staff at the Master of Rare Diseases organ- ized at the UV and directed by Dr. Pallardó.
On 20th, May 2015 an oficial agreement for the establishment of the Alliance in translational re- search in Rare Diseases of the Valencian Communi- ty (DOCV 7654, 10/11/15) was signed between the Generalitat Valenciana, CIBERER, FEDER and other valencian entities to develope a common research strategy in Rare Diseases. Dr. Pallardó was ap- pointed as president of the scientific committee of the Alliance. Currently, Alliance members are work- ing on a coordinated strategy for a joint request of FEDER funds (European Union) for the acquisition of research infrastructure in RD, the development of training and dissemination of RD and development of informatics databases to be used by patients and health professionals.
