Mission & Goals
The Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) is an international biomedical research institute of excellence, created in December 2000. It is a non-profit foundation funded by the Catalan Government through the Departments of Economy & Knowledge and Health, the Spanish Ministry of Economy, Industry and Competitiveness, the "la Caixa" Banking Foundation, and includes the participation of Pompeu Fabra University. Its mission is to discover and advance knowledge for the benefit of society, public health and economic prosperity. Its goals are the following: 1. To be a world leading centre in biomedical science, by providing our scientists with a stimulating environment, cutting edge technologies and the freedom to conduct the most innovative research. 2. To communicate and establish a dialogue with society, by educating the public and being receptive to their needs. 3. To provide multi- and interdisciplinary training for the next generation of scientists as well as supporting science education.
