The independent research centres located at the PRBB form an inter-institutional coalition that is interconnected via shared spaces within a single building. They are dedicated to research in the field of life sciences, human health and biomedicine. Taken together, the joint budget for the organisations tops 100 million euros per year.
Three PRBB centres (CRG, ISGlobal and MELIS-UPF) are members of SOMMa, the Alliance of Severo Ochoa Centres and María de Maeztu Units for promoting excellence in research and improving its social impact at both the national and international level.
We effectively connect basic research with clinical reality in the attached university hospital.

The 1,700 residents (60% women and 40% men) of the research centres at the park include 552 foreigners (33%) from 70 different countries.
Looking at different categories, the park has about 790 researchers: 232 PhDs, 238 Postdocs and 229 principal investigators (PIs). The support staff is grouped into 607 technicians, 270 people from administration and 159 others (Demographic data from December 2024).

The PRBB Consortium manages and maintains the park's assets and facilities; it also operates the animal facility as a scientific service. The centres rent out space according to surface area and type, and also pay for various park services. The PRBB receives no structural subsidies.
The Governing Council of the PRBB Consortium includes representatives from the Generalitat de Catalunya, Barcelona City Council and Pompeu Fabra University, and is chaired by the member of the Executive Council responsible for research. The PRBB Consortium is headed up by the General Director, Jordi Camí, and the Head of Administration, Jordi Medrano.
Our values are: Flexibility, Empathy, Efficiency, Collaboration and Commitment to the environment.
