Research at NIBRT
NIBRT Research is a world leader in developing innovative technologies that advance biopharmaceutical manufacturing and a resource for the global biopharmaceutical industry. Inspired by the manufacturing challenges facing the industry, NIBRT Research makes transformative discoveries across multidisciplinary areas such as analytical science, cell and genetic engineering, informatics, and bioprocess engineering. These discoveries are utilised to advance the state-of-the-art in their fields and revolutionise the manufacturing of recombinant proteins, vaccines and cell and gene therapies.
NIBRT is soon to launch a large scale expansion to our existing facility which will include five new laboratories dedicated to research in advanced therapies. This expansion will increase NIBRT’s capability in Advanced Therapy Medicinal Products (ATMPs) including Cell and Gene Therapy (CGT) research and training. The €21 million project is funded by the IDA Ireland and the Government of Ireland and will become an integral part in placing Ireland at the forefront of ATMP research, training and innovation.
About NIBRT
NIBRT supports the growth and advancement of the biopharma manufacturing industry by offering state-of-the-art training and research solutions. Through a unique collaboration between industry, government, and academia, NIBRT opened its world-class facility in Dublin, Ireland in 2011.
The facility was primarily funded by IDA Ireland (Industrial Development Agency), Ireland's inward investment promotion agency, which is dedicated to attracting and developing foreign investment in Ireland. As a result, NIBRT provides an unparalleled training and research experience that was previously unavailable anywhere in the world
