Research & Development
Promoting discovery through advanced scientific research
Centro Ciencia & Vida is one of Chile’s leading hubs for science, bringing together over 120 researchers united by the goal of expanding knowledge and driving innovation. Their work spans three main fields—Biomedicine, Computational Biology, and Microbiology—which are developed in five collaborative clusters. By organizing research in this way, CCV nurtures both scientific excellence and collaboration at the service of people.
Clusters
The five clusters focus on high-impact diseases (autoimmunity, infections, cancer, and neurodegenerative disorders) and strategic areas such as pandemic preparedness and biomining.
This synergistic structure translates world-class discoveries into technologies and advanced human capital, positioning Chile as a competitive hub for biomedical innovation and talent.
Laboratories
At Centro Ciencia & Vida, laboratory teams investigate biomedicine, microbiology, and computational biology through end-to-end workflows.
Standardized SOPs, quality controls, and technology transfer pipelines ensure reproducible science that translates into diagnostics, therapies, and biotech innovations.
