About

The Biotechnology Centre of Azores (CBA) aims to be a strategic R&D unit in the area of Biotechnology, and its interaction with Agricultural and Biological Sciences. The CBA will help to bridge the gap between research and market, creating new jobs, ideas, knowledge and education for an inclusive and innovative society. Given the geological nature, biodiversity and location of the Azores, the genetic resources available here arouse scientific interest, positioning the archipelago as a laboratory of excellence. Considering this, the CBA outlined objectives focused on the knowledge and valorisation of endogenous resources, applicable not only to locally, but also at the global level.
