About Us

Our Vision

Science and technology are full of promise. Southern Research Institute uses that potential to advance people's lives through creative problem solving.

From health care and the environment to national defense, energy, engineering and more, we are leaders in research that touches families and communities around the world each day. A not-for-profit contract research organization headquartered in Birmingham, Alabama, our history – and our future – is one of breakthrough discoveries, including revolutionary treatments for cancer, cleaner energy and innovative materials for commercial and military use.

Our 1999 affiliation with The University of Alabama at Birmingham enhanced our resources and opportunities by joining us to a world-renowned academic, medical and research center. Southern Research Institute will be a major contributor in achieving the University's vision of being a top-ten U.S. research institute by 2010.
