CAMBIA is an independent, international non-profit institute. For more than 16 years, CAMBIA has been creating new technologies, tools and paradigms to bring efficiency and equity to life-sciences enabled innovation.

In Spanish and Italian, CAMBIA means "change". This meaning is at the very heart of CAMBIA's mission.  We achieve our aims through four interconnected work products outlined below:

Patent Lens

The Patent Lens is an integrated informatics platform of worldwide patent data with tools to make patents and patent landscapes more transparent,  and to explore paths leading to fair an equitable innovation.

BiOS (Biological Open Source) Initiative

The BiOS Framework works towards development and sharing of life-sciences technology through new licensing tools and norms that are designed to meet the unique needs of sectors affected by patents.

BioForge & CAMBIA Labs

BioForge is a prototype portal to our open resource for design, invention, sharing and support of enabling technologies in the life sciences, with a view to providing a foundational 'stack' of tools that can be used by anyone for any purpose, working towards a 'commons of capability'.
