MELISA Institute participated in the first Think&Connect event, an initiative that brought together various stakeholders involved in innovation and development, from both industry and academia. In this first session, ASMAR presented some of its main challenges for the future, addressing everything from the development of a shipyard in line with current technologies to the management and treatment of its waste, with a focus on moving towards a more sustainable and self-suffici

Synergy arises when diverse capabilities, experiences, and talents converge to create new possibilities. At MELISA Institute, we visited INNOCON, part of the SETOP Group, for a very enriching day that allowed us to learn about their facilities and capabilities firsthand, but above all, to discuss collaboration opportunities and the applications we can develop together. With MELISA's proteomics, genomics, and bioinformatics capabilities, combined with INNOCON's experience in f

The alliance seeks to promote joint research and innovation projects, human capital development, and new opportunities for technology transfer, integrating the capabilities of both institutions to study deep-sea ecosystems. The launch ceremony for the framework cooperation agreement between MELISA Institute and the Millennium Institute of Oceanography (IMO) was held at the Vice-Rectorate for Research and Development of the University of Concepción. This initiative establishes

During August and September 2026, our Recruitment and Clinical Protocols team will contact all women who volunteered to participate in the cohort entitled "Preconception Cohort and Women's Sample Repository for the Study of Molecular Markers of Pregnancy and Pregnancy Outcomes." The process will begin with a phone call from one of our team members. Afterwards, the informed consent form will be sent by email or WhatsApp for review. Volunteers will have the opportunity to ask a

At MELISA we are committed to opening spaces that strengthen scientific collaboration and train new generations of researchers! Raydan Lemus, a doctoral student in Analytical Science and Technology at the University of Concepción, completed an internship at the MELISA Institute as part of a research project focused on studying samples associated with different biological conditions. His work seeks to leverage advanced proteomics tools to deepen the understanding of cellular m

MELISA Institute announces its membership in Marca Chile, an initiative that promotes Chile's image internationally and recognizes organizations that embody attributes such as excellence, innovation, and global reach. Being part of this network positions MELISA Institute as a key player in the country's scientific and biotechnological ecosystem, strengthening its visibility and standing in international arenas. This membership recognizes the research center's work in generati

According to the latest study by Endeavor, the Biobío Region contributes approximately 7% of the country's total GDP, positioning itself as one of Chile's most productive and industrially significant areas, particularly highlighting the development of the forestry industry and its capacity to drive innovation and regional growth. In this context, Bioforest, ARAUCO's R&D center, carries out important work focused on research, innovation, and sustainable forest protection, prom

Part of the MELISA Institute staff visited the Department of Pathophysiology at the Faculty of Biological Sciences of the Universidad de Concepción, in a session focused on strengthening scientific collaborations and exploring new avenues for joint work.
