- It performs research activities in oncology pre-clinic molecular pharmacology and technological transfer;
- It is opened to researchers of high professional qualification of any nationality and to the Universities, Research Centres, public and private, regional, national and international Authorities.
- It invests on the human capital, operating on the replacement and staff’s mobility, supporting the return of young Italian researchers who productively work abroad;

The managerial operating system is public-private, where to the public is ensured the governance of the system opened for projects to the privates; in this way, in a kind of managerial experimentation, CROM wants to contribute to strengthen the system of innovative research which involves all Mediterranean. The results, will be moved to the practice and to the productive services.
