These clinical conditions have a high personal, social and economic burden, leading to disability and reducing quality and life. Leading clinical and research experts are organized in over 20 research groups with recognized knowledge in pre-clinical, translational and clinical studies, as well as imaging and therapeutic platforms to create an environment which is collaborative, communicative and cooperative in order to work on brain, mind and behaviour health challenges, enhancing awareness and education.

Cancer eCORE directs its efforts to unveil and understand the mechanisms of the cancer origin and progression. The ultimate goal is to translate this knowledge into new diagnostic, prognostic and therapeutic solutions. Our bench to bed comprehensive research includes the generation of relevant disease models, biomarker studies, drug development and clinical trials.
