BRBC
The Biomedical Research and Biotechnology Center (BRBC) will be built in Carini, just a few kilometers away from Palermo Airport. The facility's goal is to become a center of reference for research in biotechnology, a fast-growing and rapidly developing sector. Once activities are in full swing, the new center will employ some 600 people and about just as many jobs will be created in the allied industries that the facility will help to develop.
The Foundation
The Ri.MED Foundation was established in 2006 after an international partnership between the Italian Government, the Region of Sicily, the Italian National Research Council (CNR), the University of Pittsburgh and the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC).
