The Research Centre LURM is dedicated to the scientific research in the field of the Biomedicine. It was instituted in the year 1969 in order to fulfill the requirements of research and advanced diagnostics of the departments of the general hospital of Verona. In the year 2004 it turned into an Interdepartmental Research Centre of the University of Verona. The main aim of the Centre is to gather researchers interested not only in the basic inner workings of the pathogenetic processes, but also in their clinical applications, through a translational perspective.
