One-liner: the Príncipe Felipe research centre — regenerative medicine, drug discovery and biomedicine; a source of biotech spin-offs and a lab partner, with shared Core Facilities open beyond its own research groups. Linked to Bioval.
What a founder gets
- Core Facilities access: Electron Microscopy, Advanced Light Microscopy, Flow Cytometry & Cytomics, Genomics & Genetics, Proteomics, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance, a Computer Cluster, Animal Models & Comparative Medicine, a Screening Platform, and a Biomodels Facility — high-end instrumentation a biotech startup would otherwise struggle to access or afford.
- Collaboration routes: a documented "How to Collaborate" channel plus institutional/procurement services for external partners.
- Talent pipeline: Master's Degree, Researchers' Programme (structured pre-doctoral development, RDF-aligned), and postdoc/student tracks — a recruiting or co-research channel for biotech founders.
- Deep research base across three core areas (Cancer, Neuronal Pathologies, Metabolic Disorders) plus cross-cutting Joint Units (Rare Diseases, Nanomedicine, Developmental Biology) — potential scientific co-founder or advisor pool.
Who it's for
- Biotech/health startups needing high-end lab instrumentation, scientific collaboration, or access to a specialized talent pool (predocs/postdocs) in cancer, neurodegenerative, metabolic, or rare-disease research.
