Institutional information
Cima Universidad de Navarra
The Cima Universidad de Navarra is a biomedical research center that was inaugurated in 2004 with the mission to carry out translational research of excellence oriented to the benefit of patients and society. Its vision is to be an international reference center in biomedical research.
As a research center of the Clínica Universidad de Navarra, its scientific objective is to address current clinical problems and propose the most effective treatment for each patient. To transfer the results of basic research to clinical application, Cima has a Translation and Transfer unit that seeks to establish collaborations with biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies to facilitate the arrival of scientific discoveries to the patient.
Cima's research is multidisciplinary, carried out by teams of professionals from various fields (biologists, biochemists, pharmacists, engineers, physicians, laboratory technicians, etc.). In this context, in collaboration with the Clinic, synergies are favored with other professionals from the other centers of the biomedical and technological campus of the Universidad de Navarra, as well as with professionals from the Hospital Complex of Navarra and Navarrabiomed, within the framework of the Institute for Health Research of Navarra (IdiSNA).
Since 2018, Cima has the status of University Research Institute of the Universidad de Navarra. As part of the academic institution, it shares with it its ideology, mission and values. Cima's professionals also contribute, through their specific activity, to the teaching and training tasks of all the University's centers.
