ABOUT US

The National Institute for Biological Standards and Control (NIBSC) plays a major national and international role in assuring the quality of biological medicines through:

  • developing standards and reference materials

We play a key role in providing scientific advice and expertise to a large number of organisations, including:

  • manufacturers of biological medicines
  • national regulatory authorities

Contributions from NIBSC scientists, as members of key decision-making bodies at both European and international level, feed into the development of national and international policies that help to ensure the safety and efficacy of biological medicines.

We serve a broad range of customers and stakeholders in the UK and abroad and have a worldwide reputation for independence, integrity and scientific excellence.
