Research
New Jersey’s leading life science innovation center, accelerating discoveries that improve the health of humans and the planet.
We conduct basic, applied, and translational research in the areas of genomics, molecular biology, the microbiome, and industrial microbiology, supporting the development of drugs and diagnostics in various therapeutic areas such as oncology and neuroscience, and the commercialization of high-value industrial biotechnology products.
We aim to improve the health of humans and the environment and are focused on biotechnology to overcome major challenges such as emerging diseases, food security, energy, and sustainability. Microbes in particular, play a major role in the delicate balance of human and global health, from infectious diseases threatening the globe to the healthy balance of the microbiome leading to better physical and mental health.
