INSTITUTE OF BIOLOGY, MEDICINAL CHEMISTRY & BIOTECHNOLOGY

The Institute of Biology, Medicinal Chemistry and Biotechnology (IBMCB) was established in 2012 as a result of the merger of the Institute of Biological Research and Biotechnology and the Institute of Organic and Pharmaceutical Chemistry of the NHRF. The objective of the IBMCB is to act as a focal point, unique within Greece, for innovation at the interface of Chemistry and Biology through a modern interdisciplinary approach to the solution of state-of-the-art issues in the areas of health, drug research and biotechnology.

The IBMCB complements the national research structure by responding to modern scientific trends by exploiting the synergy of Chemistry and Biology in research for the solution of problems of great socio-economical importance.
The vision of the IBMCB is to play a key role within the framework of  research activities in Greece and to make a major contribution to the national research priority areas of “Biomedicine and Health”, “Agrobiotechnology and Food”, and “Energy and Environment”.
