GIMM- Gulbenkian Institute for Molecular Medicine

About GIMM

The Gulbenkian Institute of Molecular Medicine (hereafter GIMM) was created by a consortium of private and public institutions as a private foundation, aiming to become an international, world- leading multi- and cross-disciplinary research institute. It seeks to actively encourage individuals in the pursuit of disruptive ideas in order to advance our fundamental understanding of life, and to meet current and future challenges to global health and well-being (see the attached document detailing the Vision and Mission of GIMM).

GIMM aims to pursue and leverage the legacy of two outstanding research institutions – Instituto Gulbenkian de Ciência and Instituto de Medicina Molecular - which have merged so as to create a unique research institute where fundamental and applied science coexist.

With campuses in Lisbon and Oeiras, GIMM hosts more than 500 scientists from various nationalities. It fosters a stimulating, curiosity-driven and inclusive scientific culture where multidisciplinary research is pursued in an open and collaborative manner, towards the discovery of new fundamental concepts in the life-sciences and the advance of biomedical knowledge.
