ISB believes in the power of collaboration. We were founded in 2000 on the idea that in order to unravel the most complex biological challenges – such as cancers and neurodegenerative diseases – it would take a systems approach and the complementary expertise of cross-disciplinary scientists and engineers. We designed open lab spaces to build community, encourage the exchange of ideas and spur innovation. We have used the most advanced science on the molecular level to help disease researchers zoom toward more effective diagnostics and treatments. Our contributions to research, according to a SCImago report, have consistently put us among the top-five institutions in the world ranked by impact.
But our vision for global wellness is grand and can’t be achieved alone. ISB will consider mutually beneficial partnerships with academic or industrial institutions as well as domestic or foreign governments. We are the original systems biologists, which means that our partners can learn the systems approach from the best. Our capability to integrate and analyze data, and synthesize new hypotheses to guide research is unrivaled. Our research facilities are certified LEED Platinum and house the latest core facilities technologies. For every partner’s needs, we can design a complementary program.
