Founded in 1947 as a not-for-profit corporation, LBRI employs ~35 PhD level scientists and ~250 technicians and staff. The Lovelace mission is to serve humanity through research on the prevention, treatment, and cure of respiratory disease. LBRI studies respiratory health issues of concern to scientists and health care experts in universities, government, industry, and patient advocacy groups and offers state-of-the-art facilities to support the needs of the work proposed.
With an extended community of Faculty, researchers, graduate students and technicians, LBRI is uniquely positioned to provide broad research resources to Faculty members committed to advancing our mission. LBRI operates more than 450,000 sq. ft of laboratory space over two campuses with state-of-the art facilities to support basic and applied research. LBRI, with over 120 animal models for respiratory research and breeding facilities for genetically engineered mouse models, provides a rich environment for collaboration and translation of basic research findings to in vivo models. Our well-established pre-clinical investigational drug safety program allows opportunities to extend work into human clinical trials for respiratory and non-respiratory diseases.
