Mission Statement

FBR is a nonprofit medical research, service, and education institute composed of laboratory, public health, biostatistical, and education experts. Its purpose is to find more effective ways to identify, manage, and prevent human disease through clinical and laboratory investigation, epidemiology, outreach science education, computer-based analysis, public health program design, and clinical testing.

Our scientific mission is to develop and improve laboratory tests as a way to help physicians identify, treat, manage and at times, prevent illness. Scientific activities within FBR involve immunology and genetics and focus in two areas of preventive medicine: the application of serum protein measurements to detect or predict medical disorders and the development of medical screening systems to identify conditions found in the general population.

Our education mission is to expand scientific knowledge and awareness among health professionals, science students at all levels, and the community at large.
