Biomedical Research Institute

BRI is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit research institute which supports infectious diseases research through two main services: the Schistosomiasis Resource Center (SRC) and the biorepository. The SRC provides cost-free schistosomiasis reagents to scientists and students around the world, enabling a broad array of research programs to explore anti-helminthics, test vaccine candidates, and design diagnostic tools. The biorepository at BRI is a CAP-accredited central repository for NIH-funded clinical trials investigating infectious and cardiovascular diseases. The biorepository also serves the biotech start-up sector which depends on reliable and secure cold storage for their biological assets. Building on a 75-year legacy, BRI continues its mission to conduct and advance infectious disease research for under-resourced communities.
