Chi siamo

La nostra missione

L’Istituto di Ricerca Pediatrica Città della Speranza (IRP) è un centro di eccellenza nella medicina pediatrica e nella ricerca scientifica. Le sue principali aree di ricerca sono: l’oncologia pediatrica, la medicina rigenerativa, la nanomedicina, la genetica e le malattie rare, l’immunologia e la medicina predittiva.

L’Istituto adotta un approccio multidisciplinare unico che integra conoscenze della biomedicina, della bioingegneria, della biochimica e della scienza dei materiali.

Coopera inoltre con ospedali universitari e istituti di ricerca nazionali e internazionali; fornisce a studenti e ricercatori una formazione di alto livello nella ricerca pediatrica; promuove l’innovazione e il trasferimento tecnologico, e facilita il dialogo con il pubblico attraverso conferenze e attività educative.
