Molecular Immunology Center increases exports

Orfilio Peláez

THE Molecular Immunology Center (CIM) had a positive year in 2011, exceeding 
its annual export plan and immunizing a larger number of patients suffering 
from advanced lung cancer with the therapeutic vaccine CIMAVAX–EGF.

According to CIM directors, this institution, part of the scientific complex in 
West Havana, last year close to 20 countries with commercial links to CIM 
increased their purchases of biopharmaceutics, and the number of clinical 
trials abroad also grew.

The institution also had excellent results in various regulatory inspections to 
certify good production and clinical practices, and was credited with being the 
best teaching unit attached to the University of Havana. 

Inaugurated December 5, 1994, the Molecular Immunology Center’s central 
objective is to develop new medicaments for the treatment of cancer and other 
chronic non-transferable diseases. Its results currently benefit more than 
10,000 patients within the national public health system.
