The CBMSO is a leading institution in the biomedical pole of this CEI. The CBMSO is still one of the most prestigious Spanish centers in Biomedical Research.
The most essential characteristic of CBMSO´s research is that it covers basic and fundamental aspects on the Biology field, but having an important translational value. Thus, on one side, we study processes underlying important diseases that directly affect life quality of many human beings and had an important economical impact in several countries. On the other side, our research may lead to important practical applications in Biomedicine and Biotechnology.
Some of the diseases being studied in our Centre include, among others, Neurodegenerative diseases, Cancer, Inflammatory diseases, Viral infections, or Cardiovascular and Immune System alterations.
Besides, the CBMSO contributes to the formation (modern and professional) of hundreds of young researchers that have carried and are carrying out their PhD theses in our Centre.
