The objective of the HCEMM Teaming National Laboratory is to establish a centre with a strong focus on translational medicine, to promote the clinical application of basic research results and to ensure scientific excellence based on an international peer review system. The main objective is to build a translational medicine centre, which in the long term will include all the sites in Hungary where such research and development is currently taking place. HCEMM activities focus on translational medicine, promoting the clinical application of basic research results and ensuring scientific excellence based on international peer review. The centre also aims to become a regional hub of scientific excellence, training and employing highly qualified researchers and conducting cutting-edge research in molecular medicine. HCEMM develops biomedical technology from early stage to clinical trials, either on its own or in collaboration with industry and academia. The HCEMM works closely with the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL), which provides full access to its advanced instrumentation facilities for HCEMM researchers.
