Welcome to the Institute for Research in Biomedicine (IRB Barcelona). Thank you for taking the time to visit our web site. Here you will find information about our research programmes and the groups and researchers that comprise this centre. The site also provides information about PhD fellowships and job offers, and other useful data. We aim to make our web site a gateway for visitors; a tool that portrays the activities undertaken and dynamic life here.

IRB Barcelona is an independent, non-profit research institution engaged in basic and applied biomedical science that aims to improve quality of life by applying advances in this field. IRB Barcelona is a very young research institution that was founded in October 2005 by the Government of Catalonia (Generalitat de Catalunya), the University of Barcelona (UB) and the Barcelona Science Park (Parc Científic de Barcelona).

The Institute aims to promote multidisciplinary research of excellence at the interface between biology, chemistry and medicine, to foster collaborations with local organisations and international research institutes, and to provide high-level training in the biomedical sciences to staff, students and visitors. IRB Barcelona is located in the Barcelona Science Park, a centre in which first-class public research converges with the private sector in a stimulating, vanguard scientific environment.
