National Institute For Bioprocessing Research and Training (NIBRT)

NIBRT is based on an innovative collaboration between University College Dublin, Trinity College Dublin, Dublin City University and the Institute of Technology, Sligo. NIBRT was primarily funded by the Government of Ireland through Ireland’s inward investment promotion agency.

NIBRT’s unique bioprocessing training facility allows undergraduate and post graduate students the opportunity to learn and practice complex technical bioprocessing procedures and to enhance their skills using the most modern equipment and facilities available.

NIBRT provides a range of undergraduate and postgraduate programmes which are specifically tailored to meet the needs of students who wish to develop their careers in the bioprocessing industry.

NIBRT research is based on a foundation of scientific excellence and is focused on delivering practical solutions to the biopharma industry. Our research programmes cover all aspects of the biopharma manufacturing process. Some of our key themes include:

• Cell line development
• Media characterization and optimization
• PAT / QbD*
• Glycosylation
• Full product characterization
