The Indiana Biosciences Research Institute (IBRI) is an American nonprofit research and technology organization serving the state of Indiana.[1] The IBRI is the nation's first industry-led collaborative life sciences research institute.[2] Their work focuses on targeting diabetes, metabolic disease, and poor nutrition.[3]

History

In 2012, pharmaceutical executive John C. Lechleiter from Eli Lilly & Company initially proposed the IBRI.[4][5] In 2013, Indiana governor Mike Pence announced the formation of the IBRI.[6] Pence later worked with life sciences leaders to secure $25 million in startup funds from the state.[7]

In 2015, the IBRI hired David Broecker as CEO.[8] In late 2015, the Indianapolis City-County Council approved $75 million to build a technology park called 16 Tech.[9] In 2016, the IBRI hired Rainer Fischer as Chief Scientific Officer.[10][11] In 2017, Governor Eric Holcomb reaffirmed the commitment made by his predecessor Mike Pence.[12][13][14]
