Harmonising its actions with the strategies and priorities of the Biomedical technology district, Fase 1 primarily directs its actions, services and technical and financial support to initiatives able to strengthen the district’s scientific identity, more specifically to:

- Clinical studies on complex diseases, with special emphasis on those with high prevalence and public health impact in the Region, determined by both genetic and environmental factors, such as:
- Diseases with prevailing autoimmune component (e.g. diabetes, multiple sclerosis)
- Psychiatric disorders (e.g. schizophrenia, bipolar disorder)
- Metabolic diseases (e.g. obesity, metabolic syndrome)
- cardiovascular diseases (e.g. hypertension, heart failure).

Subsequently, to boost the international competitiveness of Fase 1, specific competencies will be developed on high-social impact diseases and disorders, such as:
- Pain conditions
- Drug addiction.
