Project Overview

Benaroya Research Institute at Virginia Mason (BRI) is an international leader in immune system and autoimmune disease research.  Its team of world-renowned scientists identify causes and cures for devastating diseases including diabetes, arthritis, heart disease and cancer. 

BRI engaged Fuse to help them use their online presence to reach out to all of BRI’s audiences with their mission, goals and achievements.

Goals

Fuse redesigned and re-organized the site to highlight BRI’s contributions to medicine and clearly communicate the reputation of BRI as a cutting-edge, internationally known research institute.  

To accomplish this we streamlined navigation so that key audiences could get the information they needed quickly and easily, implemented a content management system (Drupal) so that BRI could easily manage, organize and publish content and integrated a 3rd party donation portal seamlessly into the site
