The Spanish Network on Biomolecular and Biocellular Computing (Redbiocom) is a consortium of seven Spanish research groups whose research activities focus on the bio-inspired approach to Natural Computing. The Network was founded in 2009 and it was funded by the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation under the Complementary Action TIN2008-04487-E/TIN.
Redbiocom is composed of the Bio-inspired Computing and Complex Systems group at Autonoma University of Madrid (UAM), the Computational Biology and Bioinformatics Group at Balearic Islands University (UIB), the Decision Modelling, Computation and Simulation group at University of Lleida (Ull), the Natural Computing group at Polytechnic University of Madrid (UPM-I), Laboratorio de Inteligencia Artificial (LIA) at Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM-II), the Computation Models and Formal Languages group at Polytechnic University of Valencia (UPV), and the Natural Computing group at University of Seville (USe).
The main research areas of Redbiocom are Membrane Computing and P Systems, Networks of Bio-inspired Processors, DNA computing and Synthetic Biology, Computational Biology and Bioinformatics.

Current research projects of the consortium in these areas are:
Currently, the joint efforts of the research groups in the network have been oriented to organize the First International School on Biomolecular and Biocellular Computing (ISBBC) which will be held in Osuna (Spain) from September 5th to 7th, 2011. The school will be organized in three different topics: Membrane Computing, Networks of Bio-inspired Processors and Synthetic Biology and DNA computing.
