CAMBIA is an independent, international non-profit institute. For more than 17 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 three interconnected work products outlined below:

Patent Lens

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

BiOS (Biological Open Source) Initiative

The BiOS Framework focuses on development and sharing of life-sciences technology through new collaboration and licensing tools and norms.

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'.

Support CAMBIA

We've invented and provided new molecular enabling technologies and support to thousands of laboratories around the world; now we need your help to keep it going.
