The Center for Biological Research (CIB) is one of the most prestigious research centers of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC), founded in 1953. It is organized into four departments, in which researchers study the structure and organization of living matter and its processes, seek to understand the bases of disease and discover experimental treatments and develop biotechnological processes to enable sustainable growth and facilitate agricultural production. The Translational medicinal and biological chemistry group (QMBT) is focused on the design, synthesis, biological evaluation, study and further optimization of pharmacokinetic properties of structurally diverse chemical entities for drug discovery.
