Our Remit

The Babraham Institute is an independent charitable life sciences Institute which receives strategic funding from the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC), carrying out world-leading innovative research and advanced training with relevance to the biomedical, biotechnological, pharmaceutical and healthcare research and user communities.

Our research focuses on the mechanisms of cell signalling and gene regulation which underlie normal cellular processes and functions, and on how their failure or abnormality may lead to disease.

The knowledge we gain is made publicly available and the Institute actively seeks partnership with relevant companies and with clinical researchers to ensure effective application of its research, to the benefit of society. The Institute runs a Bioincubator providing full business, scientific and technical mentoring to help biotechnology start-up companies achieve success.

As part of the UK Science Base, the Institute contributes to the wealth creation, quality of life and public understanding of science objectives of Government.

Our Mission

To be one of the world's pre-eminent life science innovative research institutions through internationally competitive science in basic cell and molecular biology.

To serve society through science by directing discoveries to the improvement of the quality of life and communicating the significance of our findings to the public.

To enjoy a reputation for successfully translating good science into good business opportunities through partnerships for wealth creation.

To provide a unique and highly successful environment at Babraham as the leading campus in the Cambridge Cluster for bioscience start-up and developing companies.
