The Institute of Molecular and Cellular Biology of Plants (IBMCP), established in 1992, is a joint research center of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) and the Polytechnic University of Valencia (UPV).

Its main activity is cutting-edge, high-quality scientific research aimed at generating knowledge about the key processes of plant growth and development and their capacity to adapt to the environment, with the ultimate goal of obtaining more productive and higher-quality crops. The Institute seeks to translate the knowledge generated into technology transfer to implement agronomic improvement strategies, increase the nutritional value of plants, and produce compounds of pharmacological and industrial interest, always under sustainability and quality criteria.

We work to remain a leading center in Plant Biotechnology, train people, promote excellence and research talent, and contribute to the integral development of society, because without science, there is no future.
