About
The Center for Research and Innovation in Biomedicine (CiiB) at Universidad de los Andes (UANDES), Chile, is a multidisciplinary biomedical research center focused on translating scientific discoveries into clinically relevant technologies and innovative healthcare solutions.
CiiB combines expertise in molecular and cellular biology, cardiovascular and renal medicine, extracellular vesicles, biomarker discovery, omics, imaging, and data-driven biomedical research. Its infrastructure supports experimental development, human sample analysis, biomarker validation, and preclinical and translational studies.
A key strength of CiiB is its capacity to bridge academic research with clinical applications through collaborations with hospitals, healthcare institutions, and industry. The Center actively supports technology development, intellectual property generation, clinical validation, and technology transfer, enabling promising discoveries to progress from proof-of-concept toward higher technology readiness levels and future commercialization.
Within CORFO–EUREKA, CiiB can provide scientific and technological expertise, advanced biomedical infrastructure, biomarker development and validation capabilities, and access to clinical research networks, contributing to the development and validation of innovative health technologies in collaboration with international industry partners.
