Our people
NIBR is a global organization of approximately 6,000 scientists, physicians and business professionals from around the world that offers many opportunities for individual professional growth and development. We promote the type of “flexible thinking” required in a diverse, innovative research organization.
Valuing individuals and their diverse ideas and opinions improves the effectiveness of our teams and scientific outcomes. The people in these videos describe just how we are making a world of difference.
NIBR at earliest stage of drug discovery
"It’s exciting being involved at the early stage in identifying what are the good targets and trying to make a difference in the lives of people."
Andreas Sailer
Senior Research Investigator
Developmental and Molecular Pathways - NIBR
From Academia to Industry
"At Novartis, we’re all really pulling for the same thing; develop new drugs that will help patients. To experience that kind of collaboration is a very powerful thing."
Dr. David Waltz
Senior Translational Medicine Expert
Respiratory - NIBR
Molecular Pathways Help Define NIBR Research Approach
"I wanted to examine pathways as the prism to look at drug discovery. How should we look at the complement of proteins to determine which of the nodes (in a pathway) is the best tractable node?"
Dr. Tewis Bouwmeester
Senior Unit Head
Developmental and Molecular Pathways - NIBR
