The International Centre for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology (ICGEB) - was promoted by the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) as a centre of excellence for research and training in genetic engineering and biotechnology for the benefit of developing countries. The Centre, directed by Francisco E. Baralle in three units: Trieste (Headquarters), New Delhi and Cape Town, comprises a network of 38 Affiliated Centres (national laboratories located in developing countries).

The International Centre for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology conducts innovative research in life sciences for the benefit of developing countries. It strengthens the research capability of its Members through training and funding programmes and advisory services and represents a comprehensive approach to promoting biotechnology internationally. The Centre is dedicated to advanced research and training in molecular biology and biotechnology and holds out the prospect of advancing knowledge and applying the latest techniques in the fields of: biomedicine; crop improvement; environmental protection/remediation; biopharmaceuticals and biopestidice production.

Created and developed as a special UNIDO programme, on February 3rd 1994 the ICGEB acquired the status of Autonomous International Organisation, although it remains within the United Nations system.

ICGEB at Area Science Park - Trieste

To date the ICGEB Statute has been signed by 77 countries, most of them developing countries, and of these 57 are currently full members of the Centre.


It carries out its work of scientific cooperation by the following means:

  • research programmes conducted in the components laboratories;
  • a 3-4 year international research doctorate programme in molecular genetics and biotechnology, conducted in collaboration with the Scuola Normale Superiore of Pisa (SNS) or validated by the Open University, UK or other National Universities;
  • short-term post-doctoral study grants (maximum three months);
  • long-term post-doctoral study grants (1-2 years) for the training of researchers through participation in the above-mentioned research programmes;
  • a series of theoretical and practical courses and conferences on genetic engineering and biotechnology in Trieste, New Delhi and the Affiliated Centres;
  • collaborative research programmes undertaken in Member States with the ICGEB financial support;
  • scientific services for member countries, including the supply of sophisticated reagents for scientific research and a telematic network for the analysis of the human genome and other important organisms.


The Centre is financed by contributions from the Italian and Indian governments, and voluntary contributions from all Member Countries. The Trieste Premises cover over 5,000 sq metres (taking the working area to a total of 6,500 sq metres) made available by the AREA Science Park. Containing the very latest technological and architectural features, the building houses approximately 300 researchers, technicians, administrative staff, students and trainees from many countries.

The Indian premises are located in New Delhi. It is briskly developing its residential fascility for its scientist which come from diverse places around the world. At the level of productivity and quality it matches any of the International agencies around the world with respect to publication and grants.
