Salk Institute for Biological Studies

Overview

The Salk Institute for Biological Studies is an independent, non-profit scientific research institute located in La Jolla, San Diego, California. Founded in 1963 by Jonas Salk, the institute fosters a collaborative environment for researchers to explore fundamental biological principles and their implications for humanity. The architectural design by Louis I. Kahn creates an inspiring space that encourages creativity and collaboration.

The institute conducts research in various fields, including aging and regenerative medicine, cancer biology, immune system biology, metabolism and diabetes, neuroscience, and plant biology. Its work aims to provide insights and potential treatments for diseases such as AIDS, Alzheimer’s, and cancer, while also addressing global challenges like food supply and environmental issues. The Salk Cancer Center, established in 1970, is a notable part of the institute, recognized for its contributions to cancer research and treatment. Through its scientific discoveries and collaborations, the institute serves the global scientific and medical communities, advancing knowledge and innovation in biological sciences.
