The Priestley Institute

We are the descendants of Dr Joseph Priestley, theologian, chemist, and philosopher whose discovery of oxygen and other elemental gases laid the foundation for modern chemistry.

This Institute is both our tribute and our launchpad. With your help, we will build research labs, publish pioneering papers, develop diagnostic and therapeutic tools, and create educational platforms to inspire a new generation to reignite the flame of curiosity.

Before Tesla lit the sky, Priestley lit the flame.

We ask, humbly: if you believe in progress, in evolution, or in scientific revolution, help us carry the torch
—by turning legacy into discovery.
