The Cima has made itself available to the health authorities to offer both qualified staff and material resources in the fight against the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic.

"We maintain the minimum activity necessary to guarantee the correct development of scientific projects. In addition, the Cima offers a particularly useful technical capacity as a diagnostic support, which has great potential for clinical application for patients and service to society," says Dr. Mª Pilar Civeira, director of the Cima University of Navarra. 

Although the Cima maintains its usual schedule , it has been recommended to reduce the class activity and professionals who need to go to laboratory take extreme security measures.

Following the maxim "research to cure" during this extraordinary period, the possibility of teleworking has been encouraged. "The health alarm has caused an impasse in the experimentation to reduce as much as possible the presence in the laboratory, so work from home preparing new project applications. The best thing that this status has brought me is being able to spend more time with my daughters (aged 3 years and 10 months) and to tell my eldest daughter more closely what mommy does for a living", he explains.
