Internal Research Projects
For the purpose of providing answers to essential clinical issues in the field of diabetes, associated metabolic diseases and their complications, these projects are an exceptional tool to promote scientific collaboration between various CIBERDEM groups.
Objectives
- To carry out high impact research projects in the field of diabetes and related metabolic diseases.
- To strengthen scientific collaborations among CIBERDEM groups, placing emphasis on collaborations among basic and clinical groups (with a minimum participation of three research groups per project).
- To strengthen bonds among CIBERDEM researchers working together in designing and implementing the projects.
- To demonstrate the excellence and scientific competitiveness and innovation of CIBERDEM groups through these projects.
- To establish joint initiatives that CIBERDEM research groups could not deal with alone.
