Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia

Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia is an established private, nonprofit research university in Lima with a health-centered institutional character and a broad portfolio of graduate and professional education. Its research network includes roughly 100 laboratories and units, supported by university-wide systems for project administration, research ethics, regulatory oversight, and clinical-trial management. Partnerships with the Hospital Nacional Cayetano Heredia and other public health institutions provide access to clinical settings, patient-facing expertise, and pathways for collaborative investigation and translation. Research is supported through competitive national and international funding, including Peru’s CONCYTEC and the U.S. National Institutes of Health. A dedicated technology-transfer and business-linkage office helps structure collaborative R&D, licensing, specialized services, intellectual-property protection, and startup formation.
