About

The Bellinzona Institutes of Science (Bios+) building is a multidisciplinary research hub in Bellinzona encompassing:

• the Institute for Research in Biomedicine (IRB)
• the Institute of Oncology Research (IOR)
• the EOC-USI Institute for Translational Research (IRT)

IRT and the hospital network contribute to patient‑centered translational solutions and clinical expertise. IOR concentrates on cancer research and translational oncology, driving projects from molecular studies to clinical applications. IRB focuses on human imunology and fundamental cell biology in health and disease. Within this multidisciplinary environment, some labs specifically develop and rely on 3D in vitro human model systems, organoids a 3R methodologies to advance research.
