内容简介:
【简介】 The Scripps Research Institute, one of the US's largest, private, non-profit research organizations, has always stood at the forefront of basic biomedical science.
Since its founding in 1961 by a small group of immunopathologists led by Frank Dixon, M.D., the Institute has become internationally recognized for its basic research into immunology, molecular and cellular biology, chemistry, neurosciences, autoimmune diseases, cardiovascular diseases and synthetic vaccine development. Particularly significant is the Institute's study of the basic structure and design of biological molecules; in this arena TSRI is among a handful of the world's leading centers.
Currently housed in fourteen laboratory buildings with more than 1,000,000 square feet of space overlooking the Pacific, the Institute's staff includes more than 270 professors, 800 postdoctoral fellows, 1500 laboratory technicians, administrative and support personnel, and 126 Ph.D. students.
