in the heart of one of the largest concentrations of academic and
biotechnical research in the country, and directly across from the
world-renowned Torrey Pines Golf Course. Founded in 1976, the Institute
has earned designation by the National Cancer Institute as a Cancer
Center for basic research. The Burnham Institute is recognized
internationally for its contributions to the fields of cell adhesion,
apoptosis, and cancer. Fifty faculty members lead the research effort,
which includes training of Ph.D. students and postdoctoral fellows.
