Institute of Biomedical and Biomolecular Research (IBBR)

IBBR was created in 2007, following a long preparation phase which was initiated in 2005, which led to the presentation of the IBBR concept to the National Council of Research and Technology in November 2005. The goals of the Institute of Biomedical and Biomolecular Research (IBBR) is the support and development of biomedical research based on a multidisciplinary approach and bidirectional synergy amongst the various scientific endeavors and thematic areas in biomedical informatics, biomedical engineering, molecular medicine and pharmacogenetics. The Institute aims in supporting research and development of biomedical research in the basic medical sciences as well as in the applied medical area. The development, assessment and standardization of innovative research and educational products, systems and services as well as spin-off companies for the support and uptake of innovative applications and products in the medical practice for the qualitative, safe and continuous provision of health services to the citizen emphasizing prevention and the quality based treatment of diseases is the primary goal of the IBBR. Further, IBBR is expected to be the meeting and interaction ground for the University Community and the industry with interest in biomedical research, with expected result the solution of multidisciplinary and complex biomedical problems.
