Our mission
Since 2012 the Pediatric Research Institute (IRP) is an excellence center in pediatric medicine and research. Its six top research programs are focused on pediatric oncology, regenerative medicine, nanomedicine, genetic and rare diseases, immunology, and predictive medicine.
The Institute adopts a unique multidisciplinary approach that blends ideas from biomedicine, bioengineering, biochemistry and materials science.
It also strives to promote cooperation with national and international university hospitals and research institutes, to provide high-level training in pediatric research to students and researchers, to foster innovation and technology transfer, and to facilitate dialogue with the public through conferences and educational activities
