The Institute of Biochemistry of the Romanian Academy (IBAR) was founded in 1958 and has set a high level of standards in both research and education, hosting master, doctoral and postdoctoral training programs that are highly attractive to graduates. These significant results have made this institution internationally recognized, facilitated by collaborations with numerous European universities and research groups (such as the Universities of Oxford, Goeteborg, Glasgow, the Max Plank Institute from Dortmund or NIH Bethesda).
