Originally a Research Institute developing, and subsequently producing on a commercial scale, vaccines and antitoxins it has over the years adapted to the changing research environment; always seeking to support research in an innovative way. Take a look at our heritage and find out more about us. Today, from its endowment funds, it is a grant-giving charity whose principal award is the Lister Research Prize Fellowship. The Institute has sought to retain the ‘Lister family’ tradition and remains in touch with all its former and current Fellows.
