NIBSC activities take place at the MHRA Science Campus in South Mimms, Hertfordshire, Uk. We play a major national and international role in assuring the quality of biological medicines and diagnostics, through developing reference materials, independent product control testing for batch release, and carrying out applied research.

We play a key role in providing scientific advice and expertise to numerous organisations, including the World Health Organisation (WHO), international pharmacopoeias, the UK government and European bodies, and national regulatory authorities. Contributions from our 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 products.

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.
