NRC-BRI's Health and Bioprocess Sectors promote and conduct innovative collaborations, services and technology transfers with the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries.
Profile
The Biotechnology Research Institute of the National
Research Council Canada (NRC-BRI) is the largest research
facility devoted to biotechnology in Canada. Through its
Health, Bioprocess and Environment sectors, the Institute
promotes, assists and conducts leading-edge R&D
collaborations, services and technology transfers with the
biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries.
The expertise of NRC-BRI's multidisciplinary research teams
in life sciences, forms a continuum that includes drug
discovery, bioprocess development and scale-
up. Committed to the practical applications of new
knowledge, NRC-BRI's scientific excellence, extensive
infrastructure, and outstanding track record in drug
discovery and development help reduce the technological
risks that its partners encounter.
NRC-BRI's Health Sector is highly involved in developing
cancer and infectious disease diagnostics and therapies.
The Health Sector research focuses on the identification of
molecular disease targets through the discovery and design
of lead drug
compounds.
NRC-BRI's Bioprocess Sector is specialized in the production
and purification of recombinant proteins from prokaryotic or
eukaryotic expression systems. The Sector scientists and
engineers utilize their world-class R&D expertise and
facilities
to assist pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies in the
development, optimization, scale-up of bioprocesses and the
production of bioproducts.
Partnering strategy/interests
NRC-BRI offers a range of opportunities for collaborations,
partnerships, fee for service, technology licensing and
