We are a health research center with an emphasis on non-communicable diseases, made up of people from multiple disciplines, backgrounds and views. CRONICAS Center of Excellence in Chronic Diseases is part of the Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia, both recognized among the most prestigious research institutions in South America.
We are committed to the training of young researchers and collaboration with local and international institutions. Our motivation is to improve the health of the population through high-quality research.
By 2024, CRONICAS is a world-renowned center of excellence that develops innovative and quality research, generating evidence of great impact on health.
«What motivates me is to believe in the great potential we have to answer research questions relevant to our environment. No one else will do it for us. This, coupled with the impetus of human capital, translates into opportunity, not disadvantage.»
“I dedicate myself to research on health issues because it is the way in which I want to contribute to improving the well-being of people in my country, so that they can develop to their full human potential.”
“What motivates me is the challenge of doing research in a country like ours, the challenge that it means from a methodological point of view and that is why I seek to apply new methods that are suitable for studies in our contexts.”
“Going through CRONICAS was an opportunity to guide my research interests. Before, I had worked on more clinical projects at the hospital level, and arriving at CRONICAS connected me with studies at the population level. There is always a constant interest in looking for the quality of the proposals and articles, you never stop learning”
“I really enjoy doing research. I enjoy exploring and asking, observing and listening, to learn more and understand better. To learn and receive from others, as well as to teach and deliver. To contrast ideas, build as a team and cooperate. And I dream that, at the end of the day, so much enjoyment and so much effort will help us transform reality and improve the health of those who need it most”
We focus our efforts on developing projects that solve
the social problem of non-communicable diseases.
