Scientific activity focuses on several advanced projects in current biomedical research.
The research programmes include basic science projects such as control of gene expression, DNA replication, DNA repair and RNA processing; studies on human viruses such as HIV, HPV and rotavirus, moleuclar immunology, moleuclar genetics, experimental hematology (at the ICGEB Outstation in Monterotondo, Rome) and human gene therapy.
Other Groups focus on projects in the fields of bacteriology and yeast genetics, protein structure and bioinformatics.
The ICGEB Outstation in Ca' Tron (Treviso) addresses experimental issues in the field of plant virology and bacteriology.

Research at ICGEB New Delhi
The two main research areas at ICGEB New Delhi focus on mammalian and plant biology.
Biomedical projects are pursued in virology (hepatitis B an E viruses, human immunodeficiency virus and SARS virus), immunology (biology of the immune resonse and tuberculosis), structural biology (development of synthetic antibiotics, crystal structure determination of proteins and polypeptides) and in the field of malaria both in basic research and vaccine and drug development.
In the plant biology area, research projects address the study of insect resistance and biopesticidals abiotic and biotic plant stresses and crop imporvement through biotransformation.
