iMM was created in 2002 based on the vision of João Lobo Antunes to nurture the exchange of ideas between those who produce knowledge at the bench and the ones who practice medicine. We believe it is fundamental to include the society in a commitment to the research of excellence developed in iMM. To this end, it was created in June 2018, the Fundo João Lobo Antunes with the aim of attract and retain the best scientists in Portugal, supported by an infrastructure of excellence, competitive internationally, and dedicated to improving the human health.
This is the mission of the Fundo - to engage the society towards a future with science.
