The Centre of Molecular Immunology (CMI) has been working to contribute to preserving human life for more than 25 years. CMI researches and produces new products for the diagnosis and treatment of cancer and diseases related to the immune system using mammalian cell cultures in compliance with the quality medical system regulations of Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP).
Located to the west of the Cuban capital, CMI is one of the most important scientific institutions in Cuba due to its research projects focused on using immunotherapy against cancer, one of the scourges of the world.
CMI Director Dr. Agustín Lage Dávila explains that the centre works particularly on development of molecular vaccines, antibody engineering, cellular engineering, bio-informatics and regulation of the immune response.
Clinical trials, in highly specialized hospitals, are basic to the work for treatment of cancer of different origins and immune system diseases. In addition, scientific bases have been created through the discovery of new action mechanisms and identification of new targets allowing the combined use of several products for prolonged immunotherapy treatments of malignant tumours
