Welcome to the Spanish National Center of Biotechnology (Centro Nacional de Biotecnología, CNB) website

The CNB is a young scientific centre inaugurated in 1992. Its most important value is its personnel, both at the scientific and the administrative level. The most relevant missions of the CNB are the following:

• Focus the effort in life sciences research towards a society and an economy based on knowledge.
• Use this knowledge as a tool to be applied to health, agriculture and environment.
• Offer services in new technologies to the academic community and private companies.
• Stimulate private companies towards research and development for biological problems.

Further than research we have the challenge to form scientists through a program for both predoctoral and postdoctoral fellows. You may read the information about these fellowships as well as check our current job offers in the CNB Careers Section.

In this website you will find updated information about all the services, units, departments, research lines, job offers, publications, seminars, and events at the CNB.

Should you require further information, please do not hesitate to contact us. Your comments and suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

With kind regards,

José María Valpuesta
Director
