Institute For Protein Innovation

The Institute for Protein Innovation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit that aims to reignite the field of protein science as a means to realize the promise of genomics to advance biology and promote human health. We stimulate innovative research in protein science by developing and distributing open-source antibodies, protein research tools and technologies, and lead therapeutics that will empower academic and industry scientists worldwide. We create a fertile environment for training and teaching the next generation of academics, innovators and entrepreneurs in protein science-based research and drug development. We cut across institutions and disciplines to forge new ties between academic and industry investigators. To achieve this mission, the IPI will build and operate an antibody discovery platform, with the goal of developing open- source antibodies targeting all human extracellular and secreted proteins. This resource will enable worldwide advances in research and drug development, driven by the availability of its open-source antibody library.
