Research at the Institute of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology, published in the international scientific journal Nature Structural and Molecular Biology, revealed a novel molecular mechanism that modulates mitochondria biogenesis.

Research at the Institute of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology, published today in the international scientific periodical EMBO Journal, reveals an important molecular mechanism that facilitates learning and the formation of memories by the nervous system.

Nektarios Tavernarakis, a researcher at the Foundation for Research and Technology - Hellas (FORTH), has recently been awarded the prestigious European Research Council (ERC) Advanced Investigator Grant for his research proposal titled "Molecular Basis of Neuronal Ageing - NeuronAge."

FORTH has been recently awarded with two grants of 2 million euros approximately in the competition of the European Research Council for Starting Independent Research.

The Institute of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology of the Foundation for Research and Technology - Hellas, presents the newly established "A.G. Leventis Electrophysiology Unit", the existence of which became possible with the generous contribution of the Leventis Foundation.

The Institute of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology of FORTH participates in the effort to understand a fundamental biological problem: How do cells regulate trafficking of their proteins? Some of the research results are presented in a recent publication in Cell, one of the most authoritative international scientific journals. They stem from intercontinental cooperation between the research teams of Ch. Kalodimou, Assistant Professor at Rutgers University and that of T. Economou, IMBB researcher and Associate Professor at the Biology Department of the University of Crete.

Research at the Institute of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology, published today in the international scientific journal Nature, revealed a novel molecular mechanism that modulates the process of ageing.

IMBB-FORTH takes part in a new research project of the European Union (budget: €14 million) focused on the development of innovative solutions for diabetes management. Diabetes is now evolving into an epidemic, affecting 120 million people about 1 million of whom are Greek.

The Biomedical Informatics Laboratory of FORTH has recently achieved three awards in an international challenge
