Created in 2005 by the Generalitat de Catalunya (Government of Catalonia) and the University of Barcelona, IRB Barcelona is a Severo Ochoa Centre of Excellence—a seal that was awarded in 2011.
The institute is devoted to conducting research of excellence in biomedicine and to transferring results to clinical practice, thus improving people's quality of life, while simultaneously promoting the training of outstanding researchers, technology transfer, and public communication of science.
Its 28 laboratories and seven core facilities address basic questions in biology and are oriented to diseases such as cancer, metastasis, Alzheimer's, diabetes, and rare conditions.
IRB Barcelona is an international centre that hosts 400 members and 35 nationalities.
It is located in the Barcelona Science Park.
IRB Barcelona forms part of the Barcelona Institute of Science and Technology (BIST) and the "Xarxa de Centres de Recerca de Catalunya" (CERCA).
The Bioinformatics / Biostatistics Unit is a vibrant group of highly skilled and experienced scientists who collaborate with the IRB Barcelona's community in the design, analysis and interpretation of experiments, either in vivo, in vitro or in silico.
The unit is committed to providing a competitive advantage by developing tailored solutions and conducting methodological research.
To do so, we engage in bioinformatics and statistical consulting from experimental design to publication, resulting in close collaborations with experimentalists in every stage of the way.
We have an outstanding record of publications in high impact journals and offer a unique environment for practicing the most exciting science.
