The Hospital del Mar Research Institute (IMIM) is a public centre, part of the MAR Health Park, which for the last 20 years has conducted scientific research in the field of biomedicine and health sciences as well as training qualified researchers in these areas. The centre is associated with Pompeu Fabra University (UPF) and since October 2006 it has been located in the Barcelona Biomedical Research Park (PRBB).
It comprises over 350 people, both contracted staff and collaborators, with a mix of researchers from the IMIM and clinical researchers from other MAR Health Park centres.
Its research is structured into five multidisciplinary programmes: cancer; epidemiology and public health; inflammatory and cardiovascular processes; biomedical IT and neuropsychopharmacology.
