Research Interest
Dr. Jonas Salk, developer of the polio vaccine, established the Salk Institute for Biological Studies. His goal was to create an institute that would serve as a "crucible for creativity" to pursue questions about the basic principles of life. He wanted biologists and others to work together to explore the wider implications of their discoveries for the future of humanity. In 1959, Salk and architect Louis Kahn began a unique partnership to design a truly distinguished research facility. The March of Dimes, which has generously continued to support the Salk Institute over its history, provided the seed money. The San Diego City Council gifted the land where the facility is built — a decision that was overwhelmingly approved and affirmed by the people of San Diego in a special referendum.
