In the 90s began our work in developing a line of research, led by Dr E. Romero funded by the Health Research Fund of Social Security and supported by the National Institute for Pituitary Hormones (NIPH) in the United States, upon review and approval of our projects, we included in its list of groups eligible to receive animals hormones purified and other reagents needed for our research. In the field of cooperation with private industry, our research projects about growth hormone interested to certain pharmaceutical companies. Similarly, field studies were conducted with diabetic patients and the Special Education Program aimed at these patients, that had the support of the Savings Bank of Salamanca, created the need for an Institute of UVA own (Institute of Endocrinology) upon agreement number 13/91 Social Council.
The creation of the Institute allowed to establish a focal point through which they could channel funding coming from public plans and those offered by private entities to address the training of researchers in this field and develop research projects and contracts with companies in the legal framework of the General Foundation of the University (FUNGE).
