Fondazione Parco Biomedico San Raffaele forms mutual relationship with Datapharm Autralia Pty. Ltd., Australia.

Fondazione Parco Biomedico San Raffaele (PSB) (www.scienceparkrome.org), located approximately 15 km south of Rome in a natural reserve, the science park was created by the Banca di Roma, the Chamber of Commerce of Rome, and the Fondazione San Raffaele Monte Tabor in response to the recognised need to have a biomedical research centre in the Lazio region. Opened in 2002, the park is now home to 3 companies and 9 research groups from Universities and centres working in: Stem cells, Oncology, leukaemia and Immunology; Molecular cardiology; Skeletal regeneration; Cell therapy and tissue engineering; Muscular dystrophies; Biomedical quality control; Neurological Disorders and Diabetes. The infrastructure permits the development of concept to preclinical development based on the state-of-the-art facilities including a animal facility encompassing conventional and SPF small animals and a large animal surgery unit. The Fondazione has recently created a Lazio based pre-clinical to clinical trial platform with CRISC (http://w3.uniroma1.it/crisc/), and is also in an international biomedical portfolio management project (Transvac) involving the European Clinical Research Infrastructure Network (www.ecrin.org)
