UTE CIMA

CIMA (Centro de Investigación Médica Aplicada) is the research arm of the University of Navarra, functioning as a translational biotechnology hub in Pamplona, Spain. The center focuses on oncology, hepatology, cardiovascular diseases, and neuroscience, with a particularly strong emphasis on developing advanced gene therapy and immunotherapy solutions. CIMA operates through a model of public-private collaboration, often forming temporary unions (UTEs) or spin-offs to advance its clinical pipeline. Its business strategy involves bridging the gap between basic laboratory research and clinical application, frequently partnering with global pharmaceutical companies to license its proprietary therapeutic candidates.
