Center of Molecular Immunology
The Center of Molecular Immunology (Centro de Inmunología Molecular) or CIM, is a cancer research institution located on the west side of Havana, Cuba. 23°04′32″N 82°28′15″W / 23.0755°N 82.4708°W
It opened in 1994 in Havana's Science City. CIM focuses on the research and production of new biopharmaceutical products for the treatment of cancer and other nontransmissible diseases.
The design and construction of the Center of Molecular Immunology was modeled on current Good Manufacturing Practice guidelines recommended by the World Health Organization and adopted by Cuba, particularly those also adopted by the member countries of the European Union, then known as the European Community.
Research labs, production areas and administrative offices share the 15,000 square meters of the two floor facility.
Approximately 800 employees work at the CIM, most of them scientists and engineers. These personnel are administratively organized in three main areas: Research and Development, Production, and Quality Assurance.
CIM focuses on biotechnology applications of mammalian cells, development of monoclonal antibodies, and cancer vaccines.
Basic research projects are focused on cancer immunotherapy, especially the development of molecular vaccines. These include antibody engineering, cellular engineering, bioinformatics and regulation of the immune response.
CIM conducts clinical trials in diagnostic imaging and cancer therapy of varying origin, as well as other immune system diseases, in highly specialized hospitals.
