More than 200 people representing 40 nationalities work in the laboratories in Trieste, which cover an area of approx. 10,000 sq metres. The ICGEB Trieste Component provides a scientific and educational environment of the highest standard and is fully equipped to undertake modern molecular and cellular biology research. Currently, 18 Research Groups operate out of ICGEB Trieste. Scientific activity at the Labs focus on advanced projects in current biomedical research.
Research programmes include basic science projects such as control of gene expression, DNA replication, DNA repair and RNA processing; studies on human viruses such as HIV, HPV and rotavirus, molecular immunology, neurobiology, molecular genetics, experimental haematology and human gene therapy. The research programmes of each Group are periodically evaluated through site visits involving international panels of scientists with specific expertise in the respective fields, whose recommendations are reported to the ICGEB Scientific Council. The research activities of the ICGEB Trieste laboratories are also supported by a large number of grants awarded from various international funding agencies.
Give to ICGEB to help us harness the power of Science and new Biotechnologies to enhance the quality of peoples’ lives everywhere, worldwide.
