The IRB is supported by individuals, families, institutions and foundations that share its mission to advance biomedically relevant research. The Helmut Horten Foundation helped the creation of the Institute in year 2000, and has supported its development since, including with an exceptional contribution for the building of the new headquarters, inaugurated in 2021. Support by several other Foundations was and still is essential for the development of the institute. Among these are the Leonardo Foundation, the Gustav & Ruth Jacob Foundation, the Henry Krenter Foundation, the Comel Foundation, the Ceschina Foundation, and many others. Through their contributions, the institute was and is able to acquire new technologies, support strategic initiatives, advance research and teaching activities, and provide competitive fellowships for meritorious students.
