The Biomolecular Interactions Platform (BIP) at the Centro de Investigaciones Científicas Isla de la Cartuja (cicCartuja) is a cutting-edge facility designed to support both academic research and industrial applications. BIP provides advanced tools and methodologies to study the structural and thermodynamic properties of biomolecular interactions, enabling breakthroughs in fundamental science and applied fields like drug discovery.
A Comprehensive Resource for Biomolecular Studies. BIP specializes in characterizing interactions between biomolecules—such as proteins, DNA, RNA, and glycans—and their natural or synthetic ligands. By combining multiple high-precision techniques, researchers can investigate binding affinities, kinetics, stoichiometry, and thermodynamic profiles with exceptional accuracy. This versatility makes BIP an invaluable resource for uncovering molecular mechanisms that drive biological processes or for optimizing therapeutic candidates.
Supporting Innovation in Drug Discovery and Beyond. While rooted in academic excellence, BIP also caters to industrial needs, including drug discovery. The platform’s capabilities are ideal for screening and characterizing lead compounds, validating drug-target interactions, and exploring structure-activity relationships. These services help reduce downstream failure rates by providing reliable data on molecular binding events critical to therapeutic development.
BIP welcomes researchers from CSIC institutes, other academic institutions, and industry partners worldwide. Whether your focus is on basic science or applied research, our platform offers the expertise and technology needed to advance your projects.
