Mission
Our mission is to understand how evolutionary processes shape genome diversity and how genome architecture constrains or facilitates adaptation. We combine empirical data, computational modelling and digital infrastructure development to generate knowledge with scientific, societal and translational impact.
Scientific framework
Our research is structured around an integrative evolutionary framework:
Genome variation → Developmental processes → Phenotypic diversity → Adaptation → Societal impact
This framework allows us to bridge basic evolutionary biology with applications in biodiversity conservation, global health and precision medicine.
Strategic Alignment
GBBE aligns with the strategic priorities of the Catalan research system, contributing to:
- Knowledge and Quality of Life
- Green and Environmental Transition
- Security, Digital Transformation and Public Services
