Our mission is excellence in research in the life sciences domain, assumed by the process of integrating research in biological sciences and cooperating with national and international partners in order to understand life’s processes and solve environmental, health, food and social problems. The mission comprises the three main directions which, in our vision, must be considered central axis of INCDSB’s activity: biomedical research (including cellular and molecular research, genetic engineering, etc.), research in the domain of food and agriculture and in the domain of environment & biodiversity. All these three directions are sustained by a horizontal structure that functions as a common chain which helps and correlates the central axis.The horizontal structure is represented by bioanalysis, bioinformatics, bioproducts and biotechnologies.
