Institute of Biochemistry and Biophysics PAS
The Institute of Biochemistry and Biophysics of the Polish Academy of Sciences was founded in 1957. The scientific interests of the Institute have evolved over the years from classical biochemistry, biophysics and physiological chemistry towards up-to-date molecular biology. The topics of special attention are: microbial and yeast molecular genetics, mutagenesis and DNA repair, plant molecular biology, structural biology and bioinformatics, advanced nucleoside and nucleotide chemistry, biophysics.
The highest quality of fundamental research correlates with IBB PAS R&D projects which are focused on the development of:
- New drugs and other clinically useful and therapeutic active products (prospective anti-HIV and anti-HCV compounds, drugs metabolism screening system, therapeutic bacteriophages, new probiotics)
- Human and veterinary vaccine production, vaccine transfer system
- Genetically modified plants production with better crop features
- Genetically modified fungi production with biocontrol and biotechnological features
- Biotechnological useful methods (Ni-dependent protein purification system)
- Lactic acid bacteria applications.
Over the past years IBB PAS has submitted over 40 patent applications and received over 20 patents including 1 US patent.
In addition to basic and development research the Institute provides highly specialized services.
