About usContact us

We’re pioneering a new approach to biological discovery.

IPI is an independent nonprofit research institute that captures the curiosity of academic investigation and the technology and scale of industry to accelerate biomedical research and improve human health.

Antibodies

We discover and develop high-quality antibodies and protein reagents to help researchers answer biology’s biggest research questions.

Research

We lead projects and collaborate with scientists working on biological research questions, particularly in fields related to neurobiology.

Education

We share knowledge through courses and events to equip a new generation of protein scientists to meet biology’s future challenges.

The IPI approach

  • Make synthetic, recombinant antibodies to serve unmet needs within research communities.
  • Target multiple protein family members to increase efficiency and further test for cross-reactivity.
  • Deploy yeast display, while innovating new methods and technologies to discover novel tools.
  • Automate lab systems to optimize throughput and quality in protein production.
  • Collaborate with labs globally to ensure our protein tools are directly applicable in researchers’ assays.
