The Barcelona Biomedical Research Park ("PRBB") is an agglomeration of six public research centres and is located alongside the Hospital del Mar de Barcelona. The PRBB is the product of an initiative launched by the Government of Catalonia, the City Council of Barcelona and the Pompeu Fabra University (UPF), which aims to promote research and collaboration between closely related fields. Each centre works independently in its own field and a management group, the PRBB Consortium, is responsible for managing the building and facilities, in addition to coordinating joint scientific research activities among the various centres. About 1,400 people are employed in the PRBB, making it one of the largest biomedical research clusters in the south of Europe. The centre was opened in May 2006.
The PRBB building was designed by the architects Manuel Brullet i Tenas and Albert de Pineda i Àlvarez.

Overview
PRBB comprises the following six research centres: * Hospital del Mar Medical Research Institute (IMIM) * Department of Experimental and Health Sciences of the Pompeu Fabra University (CEXS-UPF) * Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) * Barcelona Institute for Global Health (ISGlobal) * Institute of Evolutionary Biology (IBE:CSIC-UPF) * Barcelona European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL - Barcelona) The PRBB aims to generate new knowledge in the health andlife sciences
This list of life sciences comprises the branches of science that involve the scientific study of life – such as microorganisms, plants, and animals including human beings. This science is one of the two major branches of natural science, the ...
, and to facilitate transfer of technology and knowledge into industry, while providing training and facilities to its research staff. Doctoral research carried out at the PRBB is accredited by Pompeu Fabra University.
The PRBB has six main research streams, which range in scale from molecular biology to the population level biostatistics and epidemiology, including:
* Gene regulation and epigenetics
* Cellular biology and developmental biology
Developmental biology is the study of the process by which animals and plants grow and develop. Developmental biology also encompasses the biology of Regeneration (biology), regeneration, asexual reproduction, metamorphosis, and the growth and di ...
* Pharmacology
Pharmacology is a branch of medicine, biology and pharmaceutical sciences concerned with drug or medication action, where a drug may be defined as any artificial, natural, or endogenous (from within the body) molecule which exerts a biochemica ...
and clinical research
* Biomedical informatics and systems biology
Systems biology is the computational modeling, computational and mathematical analysis and modeling of complex biological systems. It is a biology-based interdisciplinary field of study that focuses on complex interactions within biological syst ...
* Human genetics and evolutionary biology
* Epidemiology and public health
