VISION

IMGGE - a place where SCIENCE and INNOVATION improve the quality of life

We are an institution valued for the quality of science and innovation in the fields of biomedicine and biotechnology, motivated to improve the health of people and the environment through responsible science and innovative ideas, using modern technologies. Through interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary research, we are committed to the acquisition and dissemination of knowledge and excellence, for the benefit of society as a whole.

MISSION

Our mission is to achieve top scientific results and their application in biomedicine and biotechnology, with the aim of achieving scientific excellence, and positioning and recognition in the international scientific community. In synergy with science, we are determined to improve the quality of higher education, develop innovations and services through the process of technology transfer and contribute to the country's green transition. We achieve social impact by communicating the results of our work, scientific facts and achievements to the general public in order to improve information and increase the population's awareness of the importance of the development of science for society.

Who we are

We are the academic research institution specialized in the fields of human molecular genetics and genomics, molecular microbiology, ecology of microorganisms and molecular biology of plants. The success we achieve in research and innovations lies in the efficient and unique interplay of interdisciplinary scientists whose research is driven by diverse health and environmental challenges such as malignant, rare and non-communicable diseases, antibiotic resistance, food, water and soil quality, and waste disposal/management. Steered by broad scientific knowledge, advanced technologies and creative innovations in the fields of biomedicine and biotechnology, we continuously acquire new insights and skills and lay out scientific and translational research excellence. Considering the large number of talented youngsters, we are particularly dedicated to supporting students and early career researchers on their journey, offering mentorship, infrastructure and a dynamic environment for their development and progression to independent scientists. On a final note, we are active and respected participants in the scientific, technological and social growth of the country and wider region, making original contributions to public health and environmental protection.
