Historia

CIC bioGUNE (Center for Cooperative Research in Biosciences), a non-profit biomedical research organization, founded in 2002 at the initiative of the Department of Industry of the Basque Government, opened its research facilities at the Technology Park of Bizkaia in January 2005. Since then, CIC bioGUNE has been playing a strong role in advancing biomedical research and technological innovation in the Basque Country. To support the research activities of The Center’s scientists and students CIC bioGUNE made an investment of more than 35 million € in state-of-the-art research infrastructure - in genomics, gene silencing, proteomics, metabolomics, NMR, electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and computer and animal facilities, among others. Every year, The Center commits more than 5.5 million € to research and dedicates 450 thousand € to Ph.D. training. It employs 22 research group leaders, more than 85 postdocs, technicians and engineers, and provides training opportunities to over twenty Ph.D. students each year.

"Located in the Science and Technology Park of Bizkaia Derio, the activity of CIC bioGUNE includes generation of both fundamental and oriented knowledge publications, patents, lectures in institutions and congresses, training of research talent, and collaboration-building with local, national and international institutions"
