2010 AnnuAl REpoRT - Ciberdem

CIBERDEM, the Spanish Biomedical Research Centre in Diabetes and Associated Metabolic Disorders, began
its activity over three years ago and it is now time to take stock of its achievements. Some are already evident
and among these is the qualitative leap forward as regards the number and excellence of publications. To this
success we should add others such as the ability of groups to work together, especially in the case of clinical
and basic research groups, which is a clear indication of our strong commitment to translational research, as
well as an obvious demonstration that these associations between groups are advantageous when it comes to
obtaining funding. All of this will soon allow us to put CIBERDEM firmly on the map of competitive biomedical
research in Europe. Ramon Gomis, CIBERDEM Scientific Director
