National Institute of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology (NIMBB)
University of the Philippines Diliman
The Molecular Biology and Biotechnology Program (MBBP) was established by the University of the Philippines Board of Regents in 1987 under the College of Science, UP Diliman. The program was created to train BS, MS, and PhD graduates to respond to our country’s need for experts to serve in academe and in industry. The first faculty members of the program came from the Departments of Biology, Chemistry, and Physics of the College of Science. The first “home” of the program was the Natural Sciences Research Institute, or NSRI.
In 2000, the MBBP became the National Institute of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology, UP Diliman (NIMBB-UPD). In 2006 the NIMBB-UPD was declared a Center of Excellence by the Commission on Higher Education (CHED).
