California research institute opens Florida branch with university as co-tenant.
The Burnham Institute for Medical Research in La Jolla, California, has opened a new facility in Orlando, Florida. The centre, called Burnham at Lake Nona, will employ some 250 research scientists focusing on cardiovascular pathobiology and metabolic signalling and disease. Scientific director Daniel Kelly says that the facility is recruiting 30 principal investigators to lead teams of three to five researchers and postdocs. During the 8 October dedication of the centre, the University of Florida announced that it will build a research facility and drugdevelopment centre at the new life-sciences complex. This centre will hire 15–20 research scientists over the next three years, says Sobha Jaishankar, assistant vicepresident for research at the university.
