Our Impact
At Sanford Burnham Prebys, we bring together visionary scientists, emerging technologies and world-class resources.
In a time of dramatic change in biomedical research, our mission remains steadfast: Turn scientific discovery into a healthier world.
Research Centers
Our four disease-focused research centers target the most pressing health threats: cancer, cardiovascular/muscular, neurologic and metabolic disease. They are supported by three enabling technologies centers for drug discovery, multi-omics and computational biology/artificial intelligence, and enriched by four overarching research themes: aging, immunology/inflammation, stem cells/regenerative medicine and children’s health.
Research Programs
Within the research centers are distinct programs that group together researchers working in key areas of biology to foster collaboration and create a stimulating scientific environment. Programs range from cancer epigenetics to degenerative diseases to aging — and support our work to advance scientific discovery to clinical care quickly and smartly.
Education
The Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences and post-doctoral programs recruit and train future generations of diverse scientists, combining hands-on laboratory experience with close mentorship from world-class researchers, buttressed by extensive networking and support services.
