The Pirbright Institute is dedicated to preventing and controlling viral diseases in livestock and those that can spread from animals to people. Our research focuses on understanding and developing solutions to combat these diseases, with a strong emphasis on diagnostics, surveillance, and biosecurity measures. We offer a range of services, including diagnostics and surveillance, as well as disinfectant testing to support the health and well-being of animals and humans alike.

Our state-of-the-art facilities, such as The Plowright Building and The Jenner Building, enable us to conduct cutting-edge research in virology and immunology. At Pirbright, we are committed to training the next generation of scientists through postgraduate programs, internships, fellowships, and apprenticeships. Join us in our mission to safeguard animal and public health by engaging with our research collaborations and educational initiatives.
