BSRC Fleming is one of the most rapidly developing research centers in Greece. It was established in 1998 and today is
actively involved in cutting edge research in biomedical
sciences. The Center currently hosts 14 research groups in 4 Institutes
covering the areas of
immunology,
molecular biology & genetics
,
molecular oncology,
cellular and developmental biology.
Fleming has gained extensive visibility in the European Research
Area through state of the art research programs in basic, as
well as translational and applied science in biology,
biomedicine and biotechnology (visit the Center's
achievements page).
Fleming is a non-profit organisation and operates under the supervision of the General Secretariat for Research and Technology (GSRT) of the Hellenic Ministry of Education. In 2005 Fleming was proclaimed a “Scientific Center of Excellence” following a GSRT sponsored site visit by an international review panel of distinguished scientists.
