Company overview
The Indiana Biosciences Research Institute (IBRI) is a pioneering nonprofit translational medicine research organization headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana. Established in 2013 as the nation's first industry-led collaborative life sciences research institute, IBRI operates as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing scientific discoveries into potential new therapeutics. The institute focuses primarily on understanding the pathogenesis of type 1 and type 2 diabetes while expanding into other metabolic diseases, Alzheimer's disease, and rare pediatric diseases. IBRI employs a unique public-private partnership model that bridges the gap between academic research and commercial drug development, supported by industry leaders, investors, and philanthropic partners. With 201-500 employees, the institute operates within the 16 Tech Innovation District and maintains strategic collaborations with major academic institutions including Indiana University. IBRI's innovative financing model ensures that when discoveries are ready for clinical trials, intellectual property is either sold back to industry or spun off, creating sustainable revenue streams while advancing medical breakthroughs that might not otherwise reach patients.
