The Carlos III Health Institute, a public body under the Ministry of Science and Innovation, has created two new stable cooperative research structures to boost Biobanks and Innovation in Spanish centers. The Hospital participates in these two initiatives, as well as in most of the already operating CIBERs i RETICS.
The RETICS (Cooperative Thematic Networks in Biomedical Research) have an expected duration of 4 years and consist of professionals from different institutions. They aim to promote complementarity of activities, resource sharing and lines of research, development and innovation. The two new structures established this year are the RETICS of Biobanks and the RETICS of Innovation in Medical and Health Technologies.
Biobanks are a key element in translational biomedical research today and will help redefine diseases according to their genetic and molecular bases and enhance preventive and individualized medicine.
This new challenge for innovative collaborative research, coinciding with the European Year of Creativity and Innovation, will allow the Clínic to promote the collaboration with many groups nationwide. It involves a strong commitment for translational and collaborative research of quality, in the line of the most advanced biomedical research countries and a new step towards research excellence.
