Scientific Advisory Board

IMB-CNM is supervised by a high-level external body appointed by CSIC: the Scientific Advisory Board (SAB), consisting of professors and researchers from international research centres, universities and companies working in areas related to the R&D lines of IMB-CNM.

It was first established in 2018 and it meets periodically to be up-to-date with latest cutting-edge research of the institute.

The current members of the IMB-CNM Scientific Advisory Board are the following:
