The CIRM is a multidisciplinary research centre which brings together 12 laboratories from different faculties of the University of Liège (Faculty of Medicine, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Gembloux agro-biotech) and its University Hospital Centre (CHU).
The fundamental, applied and clinical research conducted at CIRM covers all aspects of drug development, from its design, formulation, in vitro and in vivo evaluations to clinical biology in an accredited quality environment at all stages. Marianne Fillet, Director of CIRM, presented the various research activities of the centre and Brigitte Evrard, Vice-President of the Department of Pharmacy, their impact at the socio-economic level on the region of Liège and more broadly at the level of Wallonia.

At the end of the visit, the Minister met with CIRM researchers to discuss current research projects, projects that place CIRM as an key player in the field of health research. Research conducted at CIRM provides new health care options that benefit both regional and international companies.
