Research at the Clínica Universidad de Navarra
Research is one of the Clinic's strategic pillars, with special emphasis on the development of translational research lines.
Our experts collaborate with the researchers from the Cima Universidad de Navarra and with the Science Faculties of the Universidad de Navarra.
This strategic connection allows the bi-directional flow of scientific knowledge "from the laboratory to the patient" and vice versa. This synergy facilitates the approach of clinical reality to basic research.
Our purpose is to make the results of research quickly applicable in the improvement of patient´s care through new diagnostics and treatments.
Once the basic or preclinical phase of research at Cima is completed, in collaboration with the Clinic's specialists, the Clinic promotes and facilitates clinical research work in all its phases through the Central Unit for Clinical Trials.
Cima Universidad de Navarra

Supporting areas of research
All the technology and human resources of the Clínica Universidad de Navarra are at the service of research and at the service of our patients
CIMA LAB Diagnostics
This service is available both to patients in the Clinic and in other hospitals, as well as to pharmaceutical companies and researchers who need genetic and immunophenotypic analysis to determine which patients can benefit from their drugs.
The GMP Cell Therapy Laboratory
Production area with four cell manipulation rooms and a validation laboratory Idiotypic vaccines are developed and experimental cell therapy drugs are produced and tested in approved clinical trials.
The Experimental Operating Room
Serves as a practical training of professionals and support for the Clinic's preclinical research.
All activities are carried out in compliance with current legislation and standards for the care of laboratory and experimental animals.
The PET Radiopharmaceutical Laboratory
New compounds to study complex pathologies in fields such as oncology, neurology or inflammatory diseases. We are almost a decade ahead of other more recently initiated projects in the fight against cancer, Alzheimer's or Parkinson's disease.
The Genomic Medicine Unit
Care and research work on the influence of genetics on the disease. The aim of this unit is to study new therapeutic targets for cancer or biomarkers.
In addition, in recent years various programs have been developed to detect and monitor hereditary breast, ovarian and colon cancers.
