The Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry of the Polish Academy of Sciences (IBCH PAS) is one of the leading scientific institutions in Poland. Its exceptional standing across Europe and worldwide stems from its multifaceted activities at the intersection of three sciences: chemistry, biology, and informatics. Here, interdisciplinary research is conducted across fields such as bioorganic chemistry, biochemistry, molecular biology, systems biology, synthetic biology, and bioinformatics, with a particular focus on the synthesis, structure, and function of nucleic acids and proteins, as well as their components and mutual interactions under both model and cellular conditions. The Institute's history dates back to 1969, when the Department of Stereochemistry of Natural Products within the Institute of Organic Chemistry PAS was established. In 1980, it was transformed into the independent Department of Bioorganic Chemistry PAS, and in 1988, reorganized to become the Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry PAS.
