The IBB wants to attract talent to apply for the Ramón y Cajal Spanish competitive grants.

Our institution:

The IBB’s mission is to discover and accelerate the development and implementation of relevant clinical knowledge and science-based products to make it easier for patients to live longer and in better conditions.

The IBB has an excellent scientific background in the field of biotechnology and biomedicine and we stand out for collaborative and multidisciplinary research in order to advance in the frontiers of knowledge and innovation. We have a record of excellent publications, with an average of 86 publications per year, of which 80% are in Q1 and 50% in D1 (ratio of 0.72 publications / researcher per year) and in addition, we are characterized by our links with the UAB departments at the faculties where we teach but also and by the access to all the infrastructure and services offered at UAB university campus.

Currently, around 120 researchers carry out their research at the IBB, which has 18 different research groups organized in 3 programs:

• Applied proteomics and protein engineering
• Genomics in evolution and disease
• Response mechanisms to stress and disease

We offer a wide range of scientific project options in the field of biotechnology and biomedicine, using experimental or computational techniques, as you can see on our website. Within biomedicine, we focus on developing tools to understand, diagnose, or treat diseases such as Parkinson, cancer, diabetes, and bacterial resistance, among others. However, we also work on issues of interest to society or industry such as fertility and species conservation, protein production of industrial interest, enzymology or drug design and genomics.
