Research at IBPM aims at understanding fundamental biological mechanisms and processes, as well as developing their biotechnological applications in various fields of human health and its relation to the environment (see Research areas).
IBPM has a highly multidisciplinary, integrated vision that is rooted in its history (read more ↓)
The Institute is organized in several laboratories that develop diversified approaches in chemistry, biochemistry, structural biology, bioinformatics, genetics, molecular and cellular biology, molecular pathology, immunology (see Resources).
The location of IBPM within Sapienza University of Rome fosters collaborations and scientific synergies with several University departments. Teaching and training activities are an integral part of the institute's life (see Training)
Staff
9 technicians (see technical staff)
3 administrative staff (see administration)
and many postdoctoral research fellows, PhD students, trainees, graduates and undergraduates from MSc and BSc degree courses.
