Our Group organises 3000+ Global Conferenceseries Events every year across USA, Europe & Asia with support from 1000 more scientific societies and Publishes 700+ Open Access Journals which contains over 50000 eminent personalities, reputed scientists as editorial board members.
The Institute of Plant Biochemistry and Photosynthesis (IBVF) is a Joint Center of the National Research Council (CSIC) and the University of Sevilla (US). It is located in the Centro de Investigaciones Científicas Isla de la Cartuja (cicCartuja), where it shares facilities with two other Joint Centers, the Institute for Chemical Research (IIQ) and the Institute of Materials Science of Sevilla (ICMS).
The IBVF currently employs approximately 110 people, of which 16 are scientific staff of the CSIC and 17 are professors from the US. The members of the Institute are distributed between General Services and Research Groups. The services available in the IBVF include a Protein Analysis Facility, a Chromatography Facility, a Confocal Microscopy and Flow Cytometry Facilitya Radioactive Laboratory and excellent facilities for the cultivation of bacteria, algae and plants, including a greenhouse. The 18 research groups are divided into two areas: Gene expression and cellular regulation and Redox biology, metabolism and signalling.
The IBVF makes a commitment to excellence in scientific research, with a strong component of basic research, but it is also involved in applied research and always considers the possible applications of the most innovative research. In addition, the IBVF has a clear training role, with a key objective in the training of new researchers: our goal is to conduct quality science and to teach the new generation of scientists. Lastly, we want to inform the general public of the progress of scientific research through our outreach activities. The IBVF is managed by both personal and collegiate branches. The personal government branches are constituted by the Director, Vice-Director and Secretary. The collegiate governing branches are the Institute Board and the Scientific Senate.
The Institute Board consists of the following:
Director of the Institute, Vice-Director of the Institute, Secretary of the Institute, Research Groups Leaders, A representative of the CSIC research staff, A representative of the staff of the Department of Plant Biochemistry and Molecular Biology of the University of Sevilla, A number of representatives of non-staff research personnel, A representative of non-scientific staff
The Scientific Senate, chaired by the Director of the Institute, consists of the entire staff of the Institute holding PhD degrees.
The scientific aims of the IBVF are based on the study of various aspects of phototrophic biology, and the research is focused on photosynthetic organisms that are model systems, such as cyanobacteria, algae and plants. In the 2010-2013 Strategic Plan of the IBVF, the research to be carried out is divided into two major areas: Gene expression and cellular regulation and Redox Biology, Metabolism and Signalling.
