History

The Foundation Institute of Biomedical Research and Technology Development (Inbiomed) started in September 1997 as a private research foundation located at the San Sebastian Technology Park. The strategic goal was to support and expand the research activities in the onoclogy field at the Basque Country University and the Donostia Hospital.

A new board was constituted in 2003 promoting a novel strategic plan (2003-2007) reorienting the foundation actvities towards stem cell research and their aplication to regenerative medicine, at the same time creating distintive technologies and servicies for the pharmaceutical/biotechnological industry and the clinic. The strategic objective was to create a self-funded research structure capable of producing high quality basic-oriented research in a cutting edge biomedical field as well as high value servicies for the productive sector.

The board was consolidated in 2009 with the committed support of Obra Social Kutxa, starting the new 2015 strategic plan with the main goal of making Inbiomed an international reference in Stem Cell research and Regenerative Medicine.

Scientific structure of Inbiomed is currently organizad around three research programs focused on Cancer, Cardiovascular Disease and Neurodegenerative Diseases (Parkinson's Disease).
