Technology of the future, responsible research

CMCiB is fully committed to supporting responsible research, aligning processes and results so that breakthrough research can have a real impact on people's health and the environment. The centre is a publicly funded international research facility that collaborates with other top research facilities and leaders in industry to improve and refine research methods and drive technological innovation towards the patient and the transformation of the health system.

The combination of a purpose-built environment, an expert in-house team, and support from external professionals and consultants makes the CMCiB the ideal partner to develop and carry out complex preclinical studies, enabling the technologies of the future to be developed and validated in-house.

The centre is equipped with state-of-the-art facilities, tailored to the specific needs, types of studies, and research objectives of all clients. The purpose-built facilities include conventional and barrier biocontainment environments and a Biosafety Level 3 facility for rodents, as well as an Advanced Surgical Area for large animal models, complemented by advanced bioimaging technologies. Each area is designed with integrated laboratories and specialised areas to maximise animal welfare and reduce the need for movement and transportation.

Ultimately, the CMCiB is devoted to applying the 3R principles, promoting the use of alternative models, and improving and refining research methods.

Through the use of its own facilities and the expertise of strategic partners, the CMCiB is committed to fostering high-quality, responsible biomedical preclinical research and training, and technological innovation for the benefit of society.
