UPMC partnered with the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine and the Italian government through the Ri.MED Foundation to build and manage a Biomedical Research and Biotechnology Center (BRBC), also located in Palermo. This center offers some of the most contemporary themes in biomedical research including drug discovery, vaccine development, tissue engineering, and regenerative medicine. The center is also focused on the development of biomedical devices, structural and computational biology, neurosciences, and molecular imaging and continuously looks to enhance its team with creative and innovative scientists and researchers.
UPMC Salvator Mundi International Hospital is located in the center of Rome and offers advanced surgical expertise and specialized care in a number of clinical areas including general surgery, orthopaedics, ophthalmology, plastic surgery, and rehabilitation.
The Advanced Radiotherapy Center of Excellence at San Pietro Hospital in Rome offers one of the most advanced linear accelerators in the world and the only one in Rome. Bringing this level of radiosurgery to the region improves patient access to cancer treatment and increases the quality of cancer care which often reduces the likelihood of complications.
The Advanced Radiotherapy Center also provides quantitative and qualitative analyses to expand the disease database and follows the clinical guidelines and practices of the UPMC Hillman Cancer Center network network along with other Italian and European cancer centers.
