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) and Biomolecular Research Core Facility (BRCF). These units support current and future collaborative science by providing management, access to expertise and instrumentation, training, and networking opportunities to support our mission.
