Boston Biomedical Research Institute

Just a few doors down is the Boston Biomedical Research Institute. BBRI is an independent, non-profit institution dedicated to basic biomedical research to promote the understanding, treatment and prevention of human diseases. They are sponsors of the annual “Walk for Science” which raises money to bring a higher quality of science education to area schools. In addition to participating in this fundraising event, our students have the opportunity to visit the BBRI laboratories and see real science in action. Plans are in the works for a scientist in residence and other hands on collaborations. Read more
