[1] BioGeM was inaugurated in 2006 by Nobel laureate Rita Levi Montalcini[2] and comprises research laboratories, services and teaching facilities.

[10] Furthermore, the training activities take place in a specific functional area named Life and Mind Science School (LIMSS).

[14] The institute also hosts an office of Sopra Steria, a French company specialized in consulting and digital services.

[16] Within the research center there is also Biogeo, a museum[17] dedicated to the origins of geological history throughout the eras from the Precambrian until the Jurassic.

Founded in collaboration with the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology, the museum attempts to showcase and illustrate the origin and development of life on Earth, with particular regard to the relationship between genome͵ environment and evolution.
