Pioneering Advances in New Approach Methodologies (NAMs)

For over 35 years, we have pioneered innovation in biomedical research through the use of New Approach Methodologies (NAMs). Our commitment to animal welfare is deeply rooted in the 3Rs principles—Replacement, Reduction, and Refinement—and guided by a profound sense of responsibility. Here at the NBRI through our commitment to continuous development and expansion of new alternative methods, we are helping build a future that improves health for humans and animals alike, and where more patients gain access to life-saving treatments—swiftly, safely, and with reduced reliance on animal use in research.

Training Opportunities

National Biomedical Research Institute

The National Biomedical Research Institute (NBRI) at UC Davis advances biomedical discovery to improve human health and quality of life. Through innovative, responsible research, NBRI scientists translate discoveries into new diagnostics, therapeutics, and clinical approaches that have the potential to prevent disease, improve therapuetics, and transform lives. Research conducted at NBRI spans human and animal health, recognizing the critical connection and important role that translational science plays in advancing human relevant medicine. As an Organized Research Unit at UC Davis, NBRI brings together multidisciplinary expertise, resources, and research models to accelerate discoveries from the laboratory toward real-world health solutions.
