Centro de Investigación Biomédica de La Rioja (CIBIR)
Brief overview
The mission of CIBIR is triple: i) Contribute to develop new therapies and treatments to improve health and citizens’ quality of life. ii) Promote the training and education for professionals in the health area bringing closer the research to clinical practice. iii) Contribute to the regional economic growth and development of the biotechnological sector. To get this, it is mandatory to become an internationally renowned organization in areas of biomedical research. Flexibility and innovation are research elements that permeate our activity. Our institution must be a modern, agile and creative in providing new health solutions through innovation procedures.
