Transfer and Innovation

Applying the results of biomedical research to society is one of our main purposes. We cooperate with members of the technology, food and pharmaceutical fields so that the knowledge, results and tools created by our researchers may be used for the benefit of the health and wellbeing of our society.
 We ensure that our research findings are applied to society, and we also contribute towards increasing the hospital’s competitiveness, working along with researchers and collaborating companies which wish to improve their portfolio with innovative products.
