Navarrabiomed is a biomedical research centre of the Government of Navarra, created in 2012. The mission of Navarrabiomed is to promote, facilitate, and perform cutting-edge biomedical research in order to develop innovative therapies and treatments that will contribute to citizen´s better quality of life. Since 2016, Navarrabiomed includes the participation of the Public University of Navarra. Through this agreement, both institutions join their efforts to improve the research of our health care system. At present, Navarrabiomed is organised in 20 interdisciplinary research units and 4 technological platforms, involving more than 120 scientists. In addition to this, Navarrabiomed facilitates the research activity undertaken by over 250 health professionals from other centres of the public sector.
Navarrabiomed leads WP3 and contributes to the following main tasks:
- Multi-omic data integration: NBM-FMS will (1) quantify the coordination of the different omics; identification of biomarkers, adding knowledge from public resources.
- Systems medicine: NBM-FMS will implement holistic approaches, to identify candidate disease mechanisms through the use of systems-based methodologies such as network medicine.
- Predictive modelling: NBM-FMS will address the value of mechanisms identified in predictive modelling in collaboration with YouHealth AB.
Navarrabiomed will also support data integration of WP1 and be involved in the experimental design of sample collection and analysis and in the supervision and review of pre-processing of each data-type.
