Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Cardiovasculares Carlos III F.S.P. (CNIC)

The Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Cardiovasculares Carlos III (CNIC) is a leading international research center dedicated to understanding the basis of cardiovascular health and disease and to translating this knowledge into improved patient care.

The CNIC’s ultimate goal is for newly generated knowledge to be translated into societal benefits and a tangible return for the Spanish public sector. The center’s resources are all oriented toward translating research results into changes in clinical practice and opportunities for the business sector. To achieve this goal, the center promotes close partnerships between basic and clinical investigators and pioneers their participation in population-based clinical and observational studies, one of the center’s core commitments.
