Latvian Biomedical Research and Study Centre (BMC) is the leading scientific institute in molecular biology and biomedicine in Latvia. Since its establishment in 1993, it has evolved into a powerful scientific centre performing basic as well as applied research in three major directions: molecular medicine; biotechnology and structural biology; molecular ecology and biosystems.
Research in the BMC is organised by research teams led by leading researchers. All leading researchers are provided with the opportunity to represent their group at the BMC Scientific Council, which allows them to influence BMC organisational arrangements, identify key research directions and the institute’s overall strategy, and coordinate cooperation between groups.
New research themes and projects are proposed based on research initiatives being discussed by the Scientific Council.
In close cooperation with higher education institutions, there is also work in the field of education. Highly qualified academic staff, friendly environment and world-class equipment provide opportunities for the training of Latvian and foreign students and doctoral students.
