About PIBR
Founded in 2018, the Pacific Institute of Bioluminescent Research has become a global leader in the study of natural light production in living organisms.
The Pacific Institute of Bioluminescent Research (PIBR) is an independent research institution dedicated to advancing the scientific understanding and practical applications of bioluminescence.
Our state-of-the-art facility in Monterey, California, houses specialized laboratories equipped for marine biology, molecular genetics, spectroscopy, and photonics research. We collaborate with academic institutions, government agencies, and industry partners worldwide.
In 2026, PIBR expanded its research scope to include biohybrid systems that combine biological light production with synthetic materials, opening new possibilities for sustainable technology.
