The INCLIVA Health Research Institute is a national reference site in Spain in the field of oncology and hematology

The Foundation for the Research of the Hospital Clínico Universitario of Valencia was constituted in the year 2000, being the first Valencian research foundation attached to a public hospital. In 2010, certain excellence groups in biomedical research from the University of Valencia and IUIVI (Valencian Infertility Institute) joined the Foundation through the establishment of assignment agreements, thus creating the INCLIVA Health Research Institute. INCLIVA is a national reference site in Spain in the field of oncology and hematology, with a strong focus on translational and collaborative cancer research at the international level with the aim of mitigating the incidence and social impact of cancer.

INCLIVA manages biomedical research performed by the Hospital Clínico Universitario of Valencia and its Health Department and encourages teaching and scientific activities, thus improving patient treatment and knowledge sharing. After being accredited, in 2011, as a Health Research Institute by the Ministry of Science and Innovation, INCLIVA obtained recognition by the Carlos III Health Institute for its excellent research.
