A Driving Force for Medical Breakthroughs Built on Vision and Values

Masonic Medical Research Institute (MMRI) is an independent medical research laboratory performing collaborative research in complex diseases and genetic disorders to enable tomorrow’s cures.

In 1958, MMRI was founded by the New York State Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons after they helped raise funds to eradicate rheumatic diseases. With three main research areas: cardiovascular disease, autoimmune and neurocognitive disorders, MMRI prides itself on innovation. Today, MMRI focuses on propelling medical science, empowering scientists to take risks, sharing ideas and building an inclusive community.
