An incubator for tackling complex research problems by bringing together engineers, scientists, and clinicians to turn discoveries into life-changing solutions.
The tiniest breakthrough can make the biggest difference. Microneedle technology has opened a new treatment option for people dealing with pain and blindness. Research at IBB is more than just making scientific discoveries â it's making a difference in the lives of real patients
IBB hosted workshops and tours of our core facilities as part of the recent SEASR Conference 2026. Attendees experienced hands-on training, vendor sessions, and connected with shared resource experts. Thanks to all who attended and to @MyABRF for choosing GT as your host!
