Organisational structure
The CIBERES is one of the thematic areas forming the Centro de Investigación Biomédica en Red (CIBER), a Spanish research consortium in the field of biomedical research with great scientific potential, under the Instituto de Salud Carlos III (ISCIII) – Ministry of the Economy and Competitiveness. In 2016 it was made up of 8 thematic areas, which were extended to 11 in 2017.
The CIBERES is made up of 32 research groups, belonging to institutions of many different kinds: university hospitals, universities, Public Research Organizations (OPI), such as the Instituto de Salud Carlos III (ISCIII) itself and the Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC), and research centres of Spain’s regional ‘autonomous communities’.
CIBERES has a large team of human resources consisting of over 400 people, including a sizeable staff of its own researchers and members of groups as personnel associated to the CIBERES. This extensive team is made up of basic and clinical biomedical researchers, research technicians and management staff.
As a thematic area of the CIBER, the CIBERES belongs to this public consortium and is thus governed by a Governing Body and a Permanent Committee (its governing and management bodies) in which the institutions in the consortium take part. The organisational structure is made up of the Scientific Management, under Dr Ferrán Barbé, which along with the Management Committee coordinates the work done by the three Scientific Programmes into which CIBERES groups are split. The CIBER Technical Unit provides the administrative support required for the Institution to run.
Steering Committe Members
The Management Committee is presided over by the Scientific Director and made up of the coordinators of the programmes and manager of the CIBER.
