Building a better future
From Murcia, in the southeast of Spain, at UCAM University we project an open research accessible to the world, capable of generating real impact in health, sports, technology, and business.
UCAM University
A university that researches to serve society
At UCAM, we believe that research must serve the progress and common good.
That is why we collaborate with some of the most prestigious universities in the world such as Harvard, Oxford, MIT, Stanford, Imperial College London, and NTU Singapore sharing a common purpose: to transform society.

Life in Murcia
Murcia, a place to explore and live
Where history inspires the future
Within walls filled with history, scientific innovation and young talent coexist in a unique environment where faith, culture, and academic excellence meet.
A lively city that embraces you
Its streets, squares, and terraces breathe life, culture, and science. A safe, sunny, and welcoming place, ideal for growing, researching, and enjoying every day.
Mediterranean, balance and light
Less than an hour from the campus, the beaches of the Mar Menor and the Mediterranean offer relaxation, sports, and nature year-round. Here, research is also inspired by the surroundings: sun, sea, and quality of life in southern Europe.

The scientific journal Cell recognizes a research by Izpisua among the "exceptional" ones of the last 10 years.
In its special edition 'Cell Line 2014-2024', it showcases the main advances published by the journal in the last decade, among which is the partial reprogramming of cells by the Professor of Developmental Biology at UCAM, a process directly related to delaying aging.
A molecule discovered through supercomputing could combat colorectal cancer.
Researchers from UCAM, the University of Granada, and the Santa Lucía Hospital in Cartagena have demonstrated that the compound blocks a key protein in the development and metastasis of colorectal cancer. The study, which is funded by the Spanish Association Against Cancer and supported by the Barcelona Supercomputing Center, has been published by 'Scientific Reports'.
Seven researchers from UCAM among the best in the world in their fields.
The institution adds three new entries to the 'Ranking of the World Scientist' from Stanford University, which recognizes the top 2% of the most influential scientists.
UCAM leads the Healthpreneurs consortium to promote health entrepreneurship in Europe
The project, endowed with 1.34 million euros, has been selected as part of the fourth cohort of the Higher Education Institutions initiative, promoted by the European Institute of Innovation and Technology.
From Cambridge to the Catholic University of Murcia
The Murcian Adriana Ordoñez González returns to the Region with a Ramón y Cajal contract, after 15 years in the United Kingdom, to research the cellular response to certain diseases using CRISPR-Cas9, at the Juan Carlos Izpisua Laboratory of UCAM HiTech.
