The director of the center, Maite Mendiorozm recalled that the mission of the research center “is to promote, facilitate and conduct biomedical research to implement and develop therapies that improve the quality of the public health system.” In this sense, she emphasized that the presence of Navarrabiomed for the last ten years on the premises of the University Hospital of Navarra (HUN) “is essential for the knowledge generated between the three agents to be transferred to healthcare practice”.<\/p>\n
The center is currently organized into twenty research units and six scientific and technical services for the promotion of scientific research and technological development: Biobank, Clinical Trials, Methodology-Evaluation of health services, Proteomics, Animal Facility and Experimental Operating Room, and the CellMa Advanced Therapies Clean Room.<\/p>\n
