About Us:

The Indiana Biosciences Research Institute (IBRI) is afirst-in-class translational medicine institute dedicated to advancing lifesciences in the race to eliminate disease and improve human health and life.

By connecting early-stage biotech companies withcutting-edge life science discoveries —and backed by the mission and resourcesof industry leaders, investors, and philanthropic partners—IBRI is successfullyevolving a new, independent model to conquer disease, uniting previouslyfragmented forces in the quest for cures.

Carefully curating and supporting early-stage companieswith investment, talent, and space, IBRI strategically accelerates drugdiscovery. Our work benefits from the relatively low cost of living and doingbusiness here, allowing more resources to be directed toward science.

Fueled by the same entrepreneurial creativity as thegroundbreaking scientific work we support, IBRI’s labs advance research acrossthe frontiers of diabetes, metabolic disease, Alzheimer’s disease, and rarepediatric diseases. Our ambitious public–private vision cultivates talent whileefficiently bridging the gap between research-driven inquiry and profit-drivendrug development.

At IBRI, cures are launched on a clear pathway to clinicaltrials, enabled by the combined resources and experience of our academic andindustry partners, without the typical pressure to deliver rapid results forcommercialization. IBRI labs pursue breakthroughs that might never happenelsewhere. Breakthroughs are happening here. Our novel financing model ensuresthat when discoveries are ready for clinical trials, the intellectual propertyis sold back to industry or spun off, creating a direct stream of revenue.

By every measure, the IBRI model demonstrates a novelapproach that delivers rewards. Scientific bench work is nurtured, drugdiscovery is advanced, workforce development is continuous, investors seereturns, and donors see impact. Most importantly, IBRI’s structure andportfolio of accomplishments matter to the patients whose lives are improved—oreven saved—by this forward-looking approach to life sciences.
