At the Indiana Biosciences Research Institute, we’re developing sophisticated capabilities to explore therapeutic innovation at the interface of the molecular sciences and a growing understanding of complex disease biology. Our growing team and platform technologies allow us to use the power of chemistry to create novel and diverse molecules for exploring disease processes and also provide the substrate for potential new medicines.

Our efforts in molecular innovation support our internal diabetes program and serve as a powerful connection to external collaborators in other disease areas pursuing translational programs that are creating hope for patients - hope for a future that includes better treatment, a cure or even prevention of the disease ever taking hold.
