Fundación MEDINA Discovery of new bioactive compounds and innovative therapies
for unmet medical needs and high-value biotechnological products

MEDINA is an independent and non profit Research Organization developing innovative programs, collaborations and contracts with academic and industrial partners worldwide. MEDINA owns one of the largest Microbial Collections and the most chemically diverse Natural Products Libraries

Our team has unique expertise in natural products microbiology, chemistry and high throughput screening, as well as in early preclinical safety, drug metabolism and bioanalysis. We are currently active in drug discovery programs in infectious diseases (including tuberculosis and parasitic diseases),cancer, neurodegeneration, and rare diseases. Leveraging our unique strengths in high resolution-high throughput analytics and bioanalytics we are collaborating with clinical investigators in translational research programs for biomarker discovery and metabolomic profiling of patient samples. We are currently active in drug and biomarker discovery programs in infectious and neglected diseases cancer, CNS, and rare diseases. MEDINA is a Research Organization established in the Health Sciences Technology Park, Granada (Spain) as a private-public partnership between the Government of Andalucía (Spain), the University of Granada and Merck Sharp and Dohme de España S.A.

You have a bioactive extract. Now what?

Finding activity is only the beginning. The next challenge is understanding which compounds are responsible and deciding where to focus your efforts. When sample amounts are limited, traditional fractionation can become a bottleneck.

At Fundación MEDINA, we combine nano- and microfractionation with bioactivity data to rapidly connect chemical complexity with biological activity.

Less material. Faster answer. Better decisions.

In natural product discovery, the bottleneck often isn't the screening. It's deciding what to screen.

When working with large NPs libraries, not every sample deserves the same level of effort. The challenge is identifying where the most promising chemistry lies before investing significant time and resources.

At Fundación MEDINA, we help you understand what a library contains and identify what deserves deeper investigation.

Know what’s there. Identify what matters. Then screen smarter.

Discovering new drugs starts with models that help us better understand disease.

At Fundación MEDINA, we use advanced cell models and three-dimensional cultures to study human diseases in more biologically relevant environments and support the evaluation of new compounds.
In this video, Rosario Fernández Godino, Head of Screening and Target Validation at Fundación MEDINA, introduces our capabilities in this field and explains how technologies such as Cell Painting and High-Content Imaging help us gain deeper insights into cellular responses.

By combining experimental models with image analysis, we generate insights that support progress in drug discovery.

🔬 Celebrating MEDINA’s research at !

Carmen Ramos Martin and Marta Martínez García, Scientists at Fundación MEDINA, joined the XVIII Spanish Drug Discovery Network (SDDN) Meeting in to share their work on two projects: SMART-TNT, exploring new therapeutic approaches for triple-negative breast cancer, and PROSPLIGN, investigating lignin-derived bioactive molecules for applications in the pharmaceutical, cosmetics and fragrance industries.

👏 A special highlight was Carmen’s presentation of her poster, selected as one of three finalists for the SDDN Poster Award.

Thank you to the organisers and fellow participants for the inspiring discussions and opportunities to connect. We look forward to building on these exchanges and continuing to advance research in natural products and drug discovery.

🌱 Bringing microbial biodiversity into the conversation on sustainable crop protection.

Victor Gonzalez Menendez , Principal Scientist in Microbiology and Fungal Collection Manager at Fundación MEDINA, presented our poster at ABIM 2026, showcasing MEDINA’s integrated discovery platform for identifying new microbial natural products with activity against plant pathogens.

A great opportunity to exchange ideas with the biocontrol community and explore how microbial diversity can contribute to the next generation of biopesticides.
