IRB Barcelona is a biomedical research institute based in Barcelona, Catalonia, that brings together researchers from diverse countries to study disease at its most fundamental level. Its work centers on cancer biology, aging and metabolism, and the mechanisms of disease, with the objective of translating insights into better patient outcomes.

Founded in 2005 and located at Barcelona Science Park, IRB Barcelona has been recognised as a Severo Ochoa Centre of Excellence since 2011 and operates as a CERCA centre within the Barcelona Institute of Science and Technology. The institute also supports translational activity through spin-off companies that bring research findings closer to clinical and market applications. A recent development announced in June 2026 describes a computational framework for designing molecules with selective activity in specific cell types without starting from a predefined molecular target.
