The Cornell Institute of Biotechnology is frequently tapped to support special projects and centers that are best hosted outside the structure of specific colleges.

What makes us uniquely positioned for these missions? We are affiliated with the Research Division, and therefore we do not belong to any specific college. We also have over 35 years of experience in research administration (management of the core facility laboratories of the BRC, and administration of the academia-industry partnership CAT grants).

What support do we provide? We can offer any level of administrative support, including oversight of financial and human resources needs. We currently support:

• Breeding Insight (BI) is a USDA-ARS funded initiative administered through the Cornell Institute of Biotechnology. The Institute’s administrative office assists with HR and finance administration support to BI. However, the scientific and software development aspects of the project are run independently, and guided by the BI director.
• Cornell Visualization and Imaging Partnership The Cornell NanoScale Science and Technology Facility (CNF) and the Cornell Institute of Biotechnology (Biotech) have partnered to further advance Cornell’s excellence in Life Science characterization and imaging capabilities through the application of state-of-the art micro - and nanofabrication tools and vice versa.
  The Buckler Laboratory is a Cornell University and USDA-ARS (U.S. Department of Agriculture-Agricultural Research Service) laboratory. The Buckler Lab is administered by the Cornell Institute of Biotechnology, and its research is funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, NSF, USAID, and USDA-ARS.
• Center for Life Science Ventures is Cornell's incubator for life science companies. The Institute provides administrative support to the Center, and funds a portion of its operations.
