The Center for Innovation in Medicine (InoMed) is a Romanian non-profit research and innovation organization with a strong European footprint, dedicated to advancing personalised medicine, genomic medicine, and innovative health policy implementation.

InoMed’s mission is to bridge the gap between scientific discovery and tangible benefits for citizens, fostering an ecosystem where innovative technologies can be adopted early and equitably. By integrating science, policy, and citizen engagement, InoMed operates as an independent, multi-stakeholder platform that amplifies the impact of health innovation at local, regional, national and European levels. Recognised for its scientific excellence and policy leadership, INOMED conducts European research projects, supports evidence-based health policy, and promotes innovation in areas such as precision medicine, digital health, cancer prevention, genomics, and health literacy through research, education, stakeholder engagement, and public communication. InoMed work combines research, communication, and inclusive education, empowering professionals, policymakers, and citizens alike to participate in shaping the future of healthcare.
