Mission Statement
At the Cima University of Navarra, 441 scientists and research support professionals conduct cutting-edge science to address current clinical problems and propose the most effective treatment for each patient. We are leaders in cancer research, immunotherapy, DNA and RNA medicine, gene therapy and other advanced therapies. Our cutting-edge research is linked to constant technological innovation. We collaborate closely with medical specialists at the Clínica Universidad de Navarra (the best private spanish hospital for the last 10 years) and other professionals at the University of Navarra's Biosanitary Campus to develop innovative projects. With our advanced research facilities, our scientists seek to generate the science that will be the cure of the future. The Cancer Division focuses on investigating the origin of cancer and the molecular, cellular and physiological processes that lead to tumour formation, disease spread and metastasis. Its main goal is to understand the mechanisms behind the malignant transformation to improve treatment options and patients' quality of life. Research in these areas is essential to find meaningful therapeutic solutions in the fight against cancer. Cima's oncology research activity is integrated into the Cancer Center Clínica Universidad de Navarra, promoting the development of cutting-edge research, clinical trials and treatments based on the latest technology and evidence available. This division is structured into three main research programs that coordinate the activity of several research groups: Hemato-Oncology Solid Tumors Immunology and Immunotherapy We have passion for improving patients' lives: Cima scientists tackle fundamental biological questions daily, driven by a passion for discovering new ways to cure unsolved diseases.
About This Cause
We are the research center of the Clínica Universidad de Navarra. Our more than 423 professionals research to cure unresolved diseases with the most effective treatment for each patient. We carry out translational science by orienting our scientific projects to the real needs of the patient. We are more than 400 professionals from 18 different countries with the purpose of promoting knowledge and innovation in advanced therapies for the benefit of patients and society as a whole. Our scientific activity is structured in three strategic areas: Cancer Division DNA and RNA Division Technological Innovation Division We are a research center committed to excellence in translational research, based on novel biological knowledge and aimed at finding therapeutic solutions to patients' needs. We are the biomedical research center of the Universidad de Navarra. With our academic status we work on a non-profit basis to reinvest the surpluses in the progress of our research and to fulfill our mission of service to patients and society. Research to cure: We do research to offer new solutions to our patients. Together with the Clínica Universidad de Navarra, we conduct translational research of excellence to change the course of diseases. We generate knowledge: We are part of the Universidad de Navarra. In addition to research, our professionals are in continuous training and teaching. Open innovation: Our discoveries are transformed into new therapeutic alternatives. We collaborate with universities, technology centers, companies and national and international foundations to reach patients as soon as possible. Multidisciplinary team: Our DNA includes the collaboration of professionals in multidisciplinary teams to approach research in a comprehensive manner, helping to ensure that discoveries reach the patient. The Cima Universidad de Navarra was inaugurated in 2004 with the mission to carry out translational research of excellence oriented to the benefit of patients and society. As a research center of the Clínica Universidad de Navarra, our scientific objective is to address current clinical problems and to propose the most effective treatment for each patient. We are a reference in cancer, heart and liver diseases, immunotherapy, and gene therapy research. The high level of specialization of our professionals in different biomedical areas is reflected in the research quality of their scientific publications and the development of therapeutic innovations. o transfer the results of basic research to clinical application, Cima has a Translation and Transfer unit which, in its commitment to open innovation, 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 other centers of the biomedical and technological campus of the University of Navarra, as well as with professionals from the Navarra Hospital Complex and Navarrabiomed, within the framework of the Navarra Health Research Institute (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.
