Scientists at IRB Barcelona are supported by an extensive range of Core Facilities (CF) that provide state-of-the-art technologies and scientific services. These facilities are a key asset for our research, allowing the Institute to obtain outstanding results. They are designed to incorporate the most novel technologies available and provide them to our researchers in the shortest time possible.

Our CFs are integrated into the Catalan and Spanish research systems, which translates into agreements and collaborations with other research institutions. There is also participation in COST action (European Cooperation in Science and Technology) and in European research infrastructures (Eurobioimaging, ELIXIR), thus being part of an international research network.
