CDI and its Legacy Home


The CDI resides in 128,000 GSF of newly renovated space at the former home of the Hoffmann-La Roche Institute of Molecular Biology (RIMB), which for three decades (1967-1996) was a leading global center for innovative medical research. Most significantly, the RIMB is considered the birthplace of modern biotechnology, as its scientists successfully purified interferon alpha and beta, and helped engineer and produce interferons for human therapy. It is this tradition of discovery and translational application for patient benefit that is at the core of the CDI culture.
