Research
The IBMCP’s diverse research programme, with more than 25 research groups exploring the secrets of plants, ranges from DNA sequencing and analysis of development and hormone action in plants, to the interaction between plants and the environment.
Research Groups
Interdisciplinary research
The IBMCP research groups cover a wide range of research areas with a multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary approach, with the firm purpose of making Plant Molecular and Cellular Biology a key instrument in the improvement of agriculture, environment, human health and well-being.
Researchers
We are the breeding ground for a group of cutting-edge researchers and technical staff who work to discover how plants can help us create a more prosperous, healthy and sustainable future.
