Marqués de Valdecilla Centre for Training and Research (Government of Cantabria)
Valdecilla Biomedical Research Institute -IFIMAV- was born in 2002 as an organization for the promotion of excellence in research in the region of Cantabria, and specifically in the University Hospital Marqués de Valdecilla. The development of IFIMAV has followed the model of a Biomedical Research Institute, model proposed by the Instituto de Salud Carlos III that encourages translational research as method to improve patient assistance.
Translational research undertaken by excellent clinicians in collaboration with laboratory researchers is considered key element for our future. The increase of research activities implies better healthcare professionals with an advanced knowledge of illnesses and a better assistance. According to these principles IFIMAV encourages collaborative teams composed of basic and clinical researchers from the academia and the health system to find the way to turn their discoveries into practical solutions for patients, and to sum up, to ensure that discoveries are certainly translated into benefits in the daily practice of medicine.
