Fundacion Instituto De Investigaciones Biotecnologicas

Fundacion Instituto De Investigaciones Biotecnologicas is a non-profit research institute located in Buenos Aires, Argentina, registered in the U.S. federal government's SAM.gov system since 2007. The organization specializes in biotechnological research, focusing primarily on parasitological studies and advanced scientific investigations into infectious diseases. Through federal grant awards, the institute provides sophisticated research services to U.S. government agencies, particularly in the realm of infectious disease and parasite research, leveraging its expertise in molecular biology, genomics, and advanced scientific methodologies.

The institute has received multiple Project Grant awards from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), predominantly focused on in-depth research of parasitic diseases. These grants totaling approximately $401,239 cover critical research areas including Chagas disease, Toxoplasma gondii, and Trichomonas vaginalis. Specific research projects have involved high-throughput analysis of antibody responses, investigating protein trafficking in Trypanosoma cruzi, studying nucleosome variants in Toxoplasma gondii's life cycle, and examining DNA methylation and genome organization during host-parasite interactions. The institute has also engaged in collaborative research through sub-grant awards, such as a project with Rutgers University on identifying transcript-bound proteomes. Additionally, the organization has diversified its federal research portfolio with a project grant from the Air Force focused on intelligent nanosystems with programmed responses to external stimuli, demonstrating its broad scientific capabilities and interdisciplinary research approach.
