Calibr at Scripps Research

The California Institute for Biomedical Research (Calibr) is an independent, not-for-profit organization established to accelerate the translation of basic biomedical research to innovative new medicines. Scientists at Calibr work together with investigators at other academic institutions and non-profit foundations to advance exciting research discoveries and technologies to new medicines for the treatment of human disease. Calibr’s research interests span a large range of human diseases, including cancer, autoimmunity and inflammatory diseases, metabolic and cardiovascular diseases, infectious and neglected diseases, as well as age-related and degenerative diseases. Calibr’s research space includes a newly renovated 35,000 square foot facility in La Jolla, CA, which houses over 110 interdisciplinary scientists and staff with state-of-the-art instrumentation. This infrastructure, combined with Calibr’s drug discovery expertise, enables projects rooted in novel therapeutic mechanisms to progress from the laboratory through preclinical development and ultimately to the clinic through commercial, federal or foundation partnerships.
