On Tuesday, May 5, Sanford-Burnham hosted LEAD San Diego, a local civic leadership organization that helps emerging and seasoned leaders in all sectors of the San Diego community expand their skills and enhance their knowledge of the local business enterprises, for a special breakfast and tour.
The visitors enjoyed a welcome by Institute CEO Dr. Perry Nisen before embarking on a tour of the state-of-the-art La Jolla, Calif., facilities.
Tour highlights included a stop at the Conrad Prebys Center for Chemical Genomics, where Dr. Anne Bang, Director, Cell Biology, gave a brief overview on how the Institute utilizes cutting-edge technology to identify the precise small molecules that will become the building blocks of future medicines.
The visitors also had the opportunity to stop by the Center for Stem Cell Biology and Regeneration, where Dr. Yang Liu, a visiting researcher in the lab of Dr. Evan Synder, Professor, Human Genetics Program, gave them an overview of the Institute’s stem cell studies.
