The[https://ibb.uab.cat/] Institut de Biotecnologia i de Biomedicina (IBB) was created in 1970 as a research institute of the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB). Although the institute was originally devoted to promoting fundamental biological research, we have been focusing in the Biotechnology and Biomedicine fields for the last 20 years.

At the IBB we conduct top-level scientific research with the aim of advancing scientific findings into translational results, to revert our knowledge to society. Our researchers participate in high competitive calls, both national and internationally, aimed at funding basic and translational research.

Among the over 200 researchers currently working at the IBB, there are lecturers and professors from the UAB, ICREA and other senior researchers, postdoctoral fellows, and PhD and Master students. The IBB hosts 18 research groups organised into 3 programmes covering different areas of scientific expertise that include bioinformatics, cellular and structural biology, genomics, immunology, microbiology and proteomics.

Our multidisciplinary character, one of the most relevant characteristics of the IBB, allows for a broad approach to biological problems, both basic and applied. The IBB researchers have expertise in several topics within the biomedicine and the biotechnology field.
