Biomedical Research Institute (LA BioMed) at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center is one of
the country's leading nonprofit biomedical research institutes.

problems. Our organization has been serving the citizens of Los Angeles for over 60
years with pioneering and innovative research that led to countless diagnostics, devices

to discovery science that drives medical breakthroughs, “they” are
here at LA BioMed and “someday” is today.
Our ability to impact and improve global health through local discoveries
