About us
YBRI strategy
Our mission is to advance discoveries in biomedical sciences; to inspire, train and mentor the next generation of biomedical researchers; and to understand disease processes to positively impact health and wellbeing. We are tackling this by engaging with and pursuing multidisciplinary discovery biomedical science in a multitude of areas, ranging from molecular mechanisms to patient-based studies.
We aspire to construct collaborative networks and bring together a critical mass of biomedical researchers in York to grow innovative fundamental, experimental and translational multi-disciplinary research in the biomedical and clinical sciences.
Our values
We are led by our core values:
- Interdisciplinary: To combine expertise of multiple disciplines and technologies, thinking across boundaries
- Collaboration: To work together with internal and external partners to achieve common goals
- Excellence: To produce quality, innovative science
- Integrity: To follow the highest standards of scientific integrity in data capture, analysis and sharing
- Delivery: To produce outputs that make an impact on human health and wellbeing
