The Drug Discovery Platform of the Barcelona Science Park presents the new ChemBioBank laboratory

The presentation ceremony of the new laboratory has taken place today in the Cluster Building of the Barcelona Science Park. ChemBioBank is a Spanish initiative– coordinated by the Drug Discovery Platform located at the PCB- which aims to create an organized library of chemical compounds, mainly of academic origin, and to be characterized by virtual and experimental screening methods, in order to generate an annotated chemical-biological database.


Representatives from the three institutions that are promoting ChemBioBank have participated in the event: the Barcelona Science Park (PCB), the University of Santiago de Compostela (USC) and the Municipal Institute of Medical Research (IMIM) in Barcelona.

The Drug Discovery Platform, led by Jordi Quintana, works jointly with researchers from the University of Barcelona, other technological platforms and companies located at the PCB to boost and incorporate added value to research relating to the discovery of new drugs.

The aim is to boost the generation of new projects in the hands of these actors and companies from the chemical, pharmaceutical, biotechnological, cosmetic and agrofood sectors, amongst others, by means of the specialised consulting provided by this platform.
