NRC Institute for Biological Sciences

NRC-IBS is easing the effects of debilitating diseases through innovative research that is aimed at reducing the impact of age-related and infectious diseases. We focus on neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's and develop vaccines and immunotherapies against infectious diseases.
