The Baruch S. Blumberg Institute

A nonprofit translational research organization headquartered in Bucks County, PA

The Institute focuses on understanding the pathobiology of hepatitis B virus and related diseases, developing diagnostics for early detection of liver disease and the discovery of therapeutics, antivirals and immune modulators aimed at curing hepatitis B and other severe viral diseases.

Our scientists are translating discoveries into life-saving therapeutics

Over more than 20 years of independent efforts and industry collaborations, the Blumberg Institute has established a legacy of innovative, world-class research. This work has led to  further research and development projects by scientists and physicians within and beyond  the Blumberg Institute as well as entrepreneurial opportunities such as the creation of spinoff companies and licensing of technologies.
