Collaborations and partnerships At Almirall, we establish meaningful collaborations with scientists, universities, public and private institutions, hospitals, and biotech companies to strengthen our research capabilities, expand our pipeline and help achieve our goals. This commitment to cooperation is forged through initiatives such as AlmirallShare, our open innovation platform, and Almirall SHINE, a science-driven initiative dedicated to consolidating an academic research collaboration network with centres of excellence in dermatology. This allows the company to share efforts, resources, and risks to discover innovative treatments in the field of medical dermatology. New collaborations signed in 2023 This year, we have entered into new research collabo-rations and partnerships with world-class institutions across all fields that can provide a new approach and vi-sion for the areas in which we are present. Barcelona Supercomputing Centre and Nostrum Biodiscovery - ARTIBAND This collaboration with the Barcelona Supercomputing Centre and Nostrum Biodiscovery, collectively named the ARTIBAND project, harnesses the potential of generative artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning to design novel modulators of protein-protein interactions, laying the foundation for groundbreaking therapies in dermatology. Spanning three years and supported by the Ministry of Science and Innovation under the EU-funded Recovery, Transformation, and Resilience Plan, this project reflects our pursuit of advanced dermatological solutions. Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) Almirall partnered with the Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) to tackle non-melanoma skin cancer through innovative research. This collaboration, part of Almirall's AlmirallShare platform, aims to develop novel preclinical models that drive the discovery and evaluation of new treatments, reinforcing AlmirallShare's mission to expedite dermatological advancements through impactful partnerships and open innovation.
