The Pacific Northwest Research Institute (PNRI) is an independent, non-profit, biomedical research organization, founded in 1956 by Dr. William Hutchinson. The Institute’s rich history of discovery centers on Dr. Hutchinson’s vision that biomedical research holds the promise to "correct man’s infirmities." Today, PNRI continues to seek novel ways to prevent, treat and cure human disease using the latest and most promising technologies and approaches.
