About us

IOCB Prague is a leading research institution under the umbrella of the Czech Academy of Sciences. Our mission is basic research at the interface of chemical and biological sciences and translation of results from basic research into applications and commercial assets.

IOCB was established as an interdisciplinary institute at the interface of chemistry, biology, and medicine with a combination of chemical and biological groups and teams working in the same field. This has led to many significant contributions through its pioneering cutting-edge research, as well as practical applications, particularly in medicinal chemistry.

More than 1 000 IOCB employees work in research as well as administrative and technical support. Among them are over 200 PhD students and around 250 foreigners from dozens of countries around the world. Do you want to become one of them? Or are you looking for someone?
