Research

As a University Hospital, we permanently carry out teaching and research activities that allow us to be permanently updated with medical knowledge; accompanied by students of medicine and other areas of knowledge.

Our experience, human talent and logistic and administrative resources allow us to carry out national and international research projects with the best ethical, quality and safety standards.

Our Research Unit

In our Research Department we promote, facilitate and accompany research and its dissemination in order to contribute to scientific and social development in the area of health. We seek to be a clinical research center recognized for the quality of its research and the generation of useful knowledge for society.
We carry out drug and device development research, our own and institutional research or in association with universities and research centers.
