The Institute of Human Biology (IHB) is a leading research institute focused on accelerating the development of transformative medicines. We specialize in developing novel and robust human model systems, in vitro stem-cell based mimetics that functionally resemble human physiology and disease. By bridging the gap between academic discovery and industrial application, IHB facilitates the rapid translation of groundbreaking science into patient-focused solutions.
Our multidisciplinary expertise is housed in three scientific cores: Exploratory Biology, Translational Bioengineering, and the newly formed Computational Biology; they are supported by advanced technology platforms such as phenotyping and automation. Leveraging our integration within Roche’s R&D engine and our strong partnerships with prominent international academic institutions, IHB aims to revolutionize disease diagnosis, treatment, and prevention.
IHB scientists are active members of the scientific community and publish in numerous peer-reviewed journals.
We collaborate with leading academic and research institutions to complement our expertise, expand our capabilities, and tackle grand challenges in the field of human model systems.
