Three of them, the Instituto en BacteriologĂa y VirologĂa Molecular (IBAVIM), the Instituto de FisiopatologĂa y BioquĂmica ClĂnica (INFIBIOC), and the Instituto de TecnologĂa FarmacĂ©utica y Biofarmacia (InTecFyB), are autonomous within the scope of FFyB. In addition, the faculty oversees a number of research institutes in strategic co-operation with the National Research Council; these are the Instituto de QuĂmica y FisicoquĂmica BiolĂłgicas "Prof. Alejandro C. Paladini" (IQUIFIB), the Instituto de QuĂmica y Metabolismo del Fármaco (IQUIMEFA), the Instituto de Investigaciones FarmacolĂłgicas (ININFA), the Instituto de InmunologĂa, GenĂ©tica y Metabolismo (INIGEM), the Instituto de NanobiotecnologĂa (NANOBIOTEC), Instituto de Estudios de la Inmunidad Humoral “Profesor Ricardo A. Margni” (IDEHU), and the Instituto de BioquĂmica y Medicina Molecular, “Prof. Alberto Boveris” (IBIMOL).
Political and institutional life※
Like the rest of the University of Buenos Aires's faculties, FFyB operates under the principle of tripartite co-governance, wherein authorities are democratically elected and professors, students and graduates are represented in the faculty's governing bodies.

The Directive Council is made up of eight representatives for the professors, four representatives of the student body, and four representatives of the faculty's graduates. Deans are elected by the Directive Council every four years, while elections——to the council take place every two years.
Since 2022, the dean of the Faculty of Pharmacy and Biochemistry has been Dr. Pablo Evelson, with Dr. Laura Schreier as vice dean.
