Welcome to the IVBMB

	It is the IVBMB’s mission to elucidate molecular mechanisms leading to diseases, to lay the foundation for novel therapies and to offer a comprehensive and modern teaching program to students at different levels.
At the IVBMB, we strive to be at the forefront of biomedical research and teaching. We envision the IVBMB as an internationally recognized center for the study and development of new approaches for the future of research and medicine.

Goals

• Establish an international esteem by publishing in high-ranking journals, winning competitive research grants, attracting private investors and recruiting the best scientists and students
• Create a dynamic and interactive research community by stimulating and supporting collaborations with scientists and clinicians within the University and internationally
• Function as a platform that encourages the interaction between clinicians and scientists in order to employ novel molecular technologies in the clinical setting

The Institute

The Institute of Veterinary Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (IVBMB) was founded in January 1993 as a branch of the former Institute of Pharmacology and Biochemistry under the name of Institute of Veterinary Biochemistry. Since July 2001, the IVBMB bears its current name and is at the focus of research on:

- DNA repair of oxidative and alkylation damages
- The molecular regulation of inflammation
- Epigenetic modifications
- Transcription of ribosomal genes
- Signaling pathways involved in innate immunity and tumorigenesis
