3 Presentation The Isla de la Cartuja Scientific Research Centre () is a non-profit public institution established to generate knowledge and improve quality of life through scientific and technological research. The product of an agreement between the Regional Government of Andalusia, the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) and the University of Seville (US) reached fifteen years ago, is a trans-disciplinary centre housing three CSIC-US research institutes: the Institute of Plant Biochemistry and Photosynthesis (IBVF), the Institute of Materials Science of Seville (ICMS) and the Institute of Chemical Research (IIQ). Currently, is home to a research, administrative and support staff of 380, more than twice the original number at the centre s inception in As a result of this growth and the clear need for additional research space, a new 6000 m2 building is currently under construction and remodelling of the current space is also being undertaken. Before long, will be able to offer researchers a 18,000 m2 centre in which to further their discoveries in biology, materials science and chemistry. An additional milestone was the creation, in, of the Biomolecular Interactions Service, a unique regional infrastructure supporting research groups dedicated to the structural study of molecular interactions. page 3

4 Among other newsworthy improvements at was the elaboration of the Plan for the Transfer and Dissemination of Scientific Knowledge, stemming from our unwavering commitment to the promotion of science, scientific cooperation and the transfer of scientific knowledge. This commitment was also reflected in the creation of the -Ebro Foods Research Award. Sponsored by the multinational food group, the award encourages young researchers to follow a path of excellence and distinction. From to, great strides were also made to improve management capabilities and increase visibility at through the creation of a Project Management Office and a Communications Department. These improvements also included the launching of a new web page and the creation of an intranet to reinforce the electronic management system. looks forward to the expansion of our centre and the consolidation of our activities, made possible with the generous support from both the public and private sectors. With the additional capability to further improve the quality and visibility of the research carried out under our roof, s importance for the advancement of scientific knowledge will be ensured for many years in the future.

21 Scientific and technical services Nuclear magnetic resonance Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is a spectroscopic technique with capacity to provide useful structural and stereochemical information in a short period of time. It is not a destructive technique and can be readily used in chemistry, physics and biology. Transmission electron microscopy Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) is a technique for structural and chemical characterization of materials. It provides accurate information on the morphology, grain size, chemical composition, and crystallinity, as well as for crystal phase identification. Cell culture service Our cell culture service was formed with a mission to develop and maintain an extensive collection of cyanobacteria, microalgae and photosynthetic bacteria. Biomolecular Interactions Service The Biomolecular Interactions Service includes available NMR techniques along with other complementary biophysical methods for characterization and computational analysis for the study of biomolecular interactions. page 21

23 new building A total of 11,496, has been invested by the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) in infrastructural improvements to commenced on November 25th,. These improvements include the construction of a new, 6000 m 2 annex with floors above and below ground level, as well as the refurbishing of the current building. page 23

25 New In and as part of the creation of the Biomolecular Interactions Service, was competitively awarded 818,500 by the Regional Government of Andalusia and the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) for the installation of a 600 MHz spectrometer with CryoProbe head for improved sensitivity. Similarly, the creation of the Biomolecular Interactions Service at was made possible in part by scientific unique facility in Andalusia and permit research groups to improve the quality of their structural studies of infrastructures: a grant of 840,600 from the Spanish government with co-financing from the ERDF. Certainly one of the keys to the success of the Biointeractomics Platform, these developments create a biomolecular interactions. Biomolecular interactions service page 25

48 Lines of research A joint centre of the Spanish Naitonal Research Council (CSIC) and the University of Seville (US), the Institute of Chemical Research (IIQ) was created to house high quality research in the fields of bioorganic and organometallic chemistry. In general, the principle lines of research at IIQ are: Fundamental studies and applications of organometallic compounds. Preparation of chiral molecules through stoichiometric or catalytic synthesis. Interactions between carbohydrates and other biomolecules. Hydrophilic and hydrophobic pore synthesis as models of cellular ion channels. Molecular basis of tachykinin-receptor interaction. For this research, the IIQ can support research in synthesis, the manipulation of environmentally-sensitive samples and experimentation at different, non-standard pressures. IIQ is equipped with instruments necessary for carrying out different spectroscopic techniques including NMR (liquid-filled probes, multinuclear, third channeled, CP-MAS and HR-MAS), analytic techniques (chromatography, elemental analysis and X-ray diffraction), manipulation methods, biological systems research and computational techniques. page 48 iiq
