National Institute For Bioprocessing Research and Training (NIBRT) in IRL

The National Institute for Bioprocessing Research and Training (NIBRT) is a global center of excellence for training and research in bioprocessing. NIBRT is located in a new, world-class facility in Dublin, Ireland. This facility is purpose-built to closely replicate a modern bioprocessing plant with state-of-the-art equipment.NIBRT arose from an innovative collaboration between University College Dublin, Trinity College Dublin, Dublin City University, and the Institute of Technology, Sligo. 

NIBRT was primarily funded by the Government of Ireland through Ireland’s inward investment promotion agency, IDA Ireland (Industrial Development Agency), which is responsible for the attraction and development of foreign investment in Ireland.NIBRT offers a quality training and research experience not previously possible anywhere in the world.

NIBRT is a world-class institute that provides training and research solutions for the biopharmaceutical manufacturing industry. Our mission is to support the biopharmaceutical industry by providing a unique learning experience for trainees in an environment that replicates the most advanced industrial bioprocessing facility. In parallel, we also undertake leading-edge research in key areas of biopharmaceutical manufacturing in collaboration with industry and academia.

NIBRT’s Culture defines the desired ethos of the Institute and how we interact with our colleagues and clients. Our Culture is summarized by the “CIRCLES” logo which represents the interdependency between our three main areas of activity; training, research, and operations.“CIRCLES” is also an acronym for our seven value statements of Collaboration, Innovation, Respect, Client focus, Learning organization, Excellence and Safety.
