    Unit: Immune system development and function

    Coordinator: César Cobaleda

    Unit: Microbes in health and disease

    Coordinator: Margarita Sáiz

      Technical services

      Maintaining the functionality of a complex building like the CBM’s headquarters involves a wide range of tasks, including health and safety, facilities management, etc.

      To support the daily operational needs of our researchers, our dedicated technical teams handle activities ranging from ensuring that lab spaces are equipped with the necessary tools and resources, to making sure our scientists are protected and know how to handle toxic chemicals and radioactive substances.

      Additionally, our techical services staff manage essential research facilities. These teams oversee building maintenance, sterilization of glassware, preparation of reagents and culture media, and the repair of scientific equipment.
