Institute For Medical Research

Institute for Medical Research is an organisation which conducts fundamental and applied research in the field of biomedicine. Our goal is application and dissemination of knowledge through publication, education and international co-operation. Zgrada Institute for Medical Research (IMR), the only Yugoslav governmental research institute in the field of biomedicine, was founded 58 years ago by the Serbian Academy of Science. From the beginning the main orientation of IMR was directed towards basic and applied investigations in several different fields. Today, IMR comprises more than 45 researchers (medical doctors, biologists, molecular biologists, chemists, pharmacists, biochemists etc.) organized in seven research units. The overall bibliography of IMR amounts to over 2.000 original papers, published mainly in international scientific journals. IMR researchers have also edited ten published scientific books.
