Are you interested in participating in a clinical study? Check out our available studies!

Conducting clinical studies allow us to obtain reliable scientific evidence to demonstrate the potential of various treatments in the prevention of future diseases.


This is why the participation of volunteers plays a fundamental role in research on diseases that do not have an effective treatment or immediate cure.


Currently, our studies focus on the collection of biological samples in adult or infant/adolescent participants (from 0 to 17 years old).



It consists of a single visit which once the informed consent has been signed, the sample is collected (in the case of blood, the volume ranges between 8.5 ml and 10 ml depending on the study)


We invite you to read below the requirements to participate in our studies and the compensation granted for costs related to transportation and time.
