Botnar Institute of Immune Engineering - BIIE

The Botnar Institute of Immune Engineering (BIIE) is a non-profit research organisation focused on the advanced study of immunological systems with a mission to develop translational solutions for the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of disease. With this focus, the BIIE is committed to advancing global child and adolescent health. Outstanding investigators from around the globe will be recruited to its facility in Basel, Switzerland, to form a new hub of innovation in immune engineering. The Institute's mission is to harness the potential of immune engineering to enhance the lives of children and young people globally, and to deliver on the promise of a healthier future. The BIIE is made possible by the generous endowment of over 1 Billion USD to be provided over 15 years from Fondation Botnar, a Swiss philanthropic foundation working to improve the health and wellbeing of young people around the world.
