Biomedical Research Foundation of the Academy of Athens
The Biomedical Research Foundation of the Academy of Athens (BRFAA) began its research activities in 2004. The fundamental principle upon which BRFAA was created is the combination of basic and clinical research, serving the immediate utilization of basic biological research results in medical applications, i.e., what is called "translational research."
The main goal of BRFAA is to achieve Excellence in Biomedical Sciences through the employment and collaboration of researchers who conduct advanced basic and translational research, as well as the education of young scientists who are offered all the opportunities that a highly active scientific environment can provide. BRFAA houses 50 research groups that focus their activities on understanding the basic mechanisms and pathophysiology of the immune system, the cardiovascular and nervous systems, as well as stem cells, development, aging, and cancer.
