The Biomedical Research Institute

Welcome to the Biomedical Research Institute

The Biomedical Research Institute (BRI), formerly known as the Biomolecular Research Center, at Boise State University is a collaborative and multidisciplinary research hub designed to provide a supportive environment for interdisciplinary research and education. The institute concentrates on supporting the careers and professional development of students, staff and researchers in biomolecular and biomedical research interests.

The BRI is home to the IDeA Programs Office (IPO), the Center of Biomedical Research Excellence in Matrix Biology, the Center of Biomedical Research Excellence in Convergent Engineering and Biomolecular Science, Clinical and Translational Research, and the Idaho INBRE Program Data Science Core and BSU INBRE student fellows program. Shared core facilities include the Biomolecular Research Core Facility (BRCF) and the Fabrication, Characterization, and Testing (FaCT) Core. These units support current and future collaborative science by providing management, access to expertise and instrumentation, training, and networking opportunities to support our mission.

Mission Statement

The Biomedical Research Institute facilitates multidisciplinary research and research training programs in biomedical sciences with a goal of increasing the level of biomedical research achieved at Boise State University in support of gaining knowledge and improving the health of society.

IDeA Programs Office

The IPO is the administrative unit for several Institutional Development Award (IDeA) programs funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Related  programs that support the growth of biomedical research at Boise State University are also supported by the IDeA Programs Office.

Biomolecular Research Core Facility

The BRCF has a comprehensive collection of instrumentation for the characterization of biomolecules, cells, and tissues. Instrumentation is accessible to internal and external customers. Available instrumentation focuses on mass spectrometry, histology, imaging, and protein biochemistry. For more information about the BRCF, please go to Facilities and Services.

Fabrication, Characterization, and Testing Core

The FaCT Core provides biomedical engineering research support in the form of design, development, synthesis/fabrication, testing, and validation capabilities and services for devices, sensors, and systems to be used in foundational or applied biomedical and/or clinical-translational research. For more information about the FaCT Core Facilities, please go to FaCT Core Facility.
