Health and Biotechnology (SaBio)
Health and Biotechnology (SaBio; www.SaBio-IREC.com) contributes to health, production and conservation through research and development. SaBio strengths include a pronounced cross-disciplinarity, high levels of internationalization, scientific productivity and knowledge transfer capabilities.
SaBio integrates some 40 excellent researchers in biotechnology, reproduction, health and related fields. Of these, 9 enjoy permanent contracts with UCLM or CSIC. In 2012, SaBio had 1.5 international co-authorships per paper, produced 74 papers in 33 SCI journals (mean IF 2.76, 82% Q1), and generated over 2.5 millon € in grants and contracts. SaBio’s interactions with industries of the pharma/veterinary and game/livestock sectors grow each year, generating new patents and knowledge transfer.
Current research activity includes new developments in reproductive biotechnology, disease control and vaccine design, and basic and applied research on emerging diseases.
