Mission
Our mission is to build a unique institute that bridges basic research and drug discovery, and that attracts the best and brightest scientists, physicians and students to work together synergistically to find cures for neglected human diseases. The California Institute for Biomedical Research (CALIBR) is a biomedical research organization located in San Diego, California. CALIBR bridges the gap between basic biomedical research and the clinical application of research discoveries to human disease. CALIBR commits substantially all of its resources to biomedical research activities. CALIBR's research and work will catalyze the translation of discoveries by scientists at other San Diego research institutes, as well as other major research institutes throughout the world, into potential new therapies for many life threatening and debilitating diseases. These diseases include orphan diseases, degenerative diseases of aging, cancer, autoimmune diseases, and infectious diseases.
