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 Secreteriat for Research and Technology (GSRT) of the Hellenic Ministry of Development. In 2005 Fleming was proclaimed a “Scientific Center of Excellence” following a GSRT sponsored site visit by an international review panel of distinguished scientists.

Fleming’s researchers have discovered that embryonic expression of Autotaxin, a secreted lysophospholipase D generating lysophosphatidic acid, is necessary for vascular branching morphogenesis and neural tube closure. [PubMed] |

Fleming’s researchers have shown that pan-neuronal accumulation of wild type and mutant Taus in the Drosophila Central Nervous System yielded specific and differential toxicity in the embryonic neuroblasts that generate the mushroom body neurons. [PubMed] |

Computational miRNA target prediction remains one of the key means used to decipher the role of miRNAs in development and disease. In a recent review of Bioinformatics the team of A. Hatzigeorgiou from Fleming’s Institute of Molecular Oncology took it upon themselves to test the performance of the more popular miRNA target prediction algorithms out there and published what they found. The review was highlighted by the Epigenie newsletters. More info: Epigenie [Pubmed] |
