About NJABR

The New Jersey Association for Biomedical Research (NJABR) is the only organization in New Jersey dedicated solely to promoting the improvement of human and animal health through biomedical research. The Association speaks out on behalf of the thousands of people engaged in biomedical research in New Jersey as well as the millions of people around the world who benefit from their life-saving work.

Founded in 1989 by stakeholders with a deep commitment to continuing advances in public health, NJABR is a comprehensive resource center for students and educators, government, the media, the public, and New Jersey’s research community.

Membership in NJABR includes academic institutions, industry, hospitals, voluntary health organizations, and affiliated trade and professional organizations.

NJABR is a 501 (C)(3), nonprofit organization incorporated in the state of New Jersey.

For some people, science is fascinating. It holds promise for unraveling the mysteries of life. For others, science itself is a mystery that generates feelings of suspicion and mistrust. NJABR works to bridge the understanding gap through open, honest public dialogue. This process is enhanced by focusing attention on the bioethical implications of scientific breakthroughs which must be an integral part of any discussion of science today.

What we do

Through partnerships with every major science education organization and institution in the state and linkages with similar groups nationwide, NJABR is a credible resource providing information for school presentations, debate preparation, research papers, and general dialogue about ethical issues raised by rapid advances in science.

Available to "students of all ages," NJABR serves the public by actively promoting programs which foster a better understanding of biomedical research - how it is conducted and the health and safety benefits it delivers to humans and animals.
