Molecular Biology for One Health
Responding to the needs of the productive sector and academic community, IBBM provides services and advice, and transfers knowledge through a range of engagement mechanisms.
Our expertise and trained personnel support the development of specialised technology platforms. This proposal brings together five modules offering a range of activities; their registration as high-level technological services (STAN) is being processed by CONICET.
