Orlando, FL  – The Burnham Institute for Medical Research (Burnham) dedicated its new 175,000 sq. ft. scientific facility and marked the opening of Orlando’s Medical City as a life science center. Burnham at Lake Nona is the research anchor for the new development in southeast Orange County Florida and the east coast campus of the La Jolla, Calif.-based institute.

The opening of the Burnham facility is projected to have a transformative effect on the region by fostering a medically-focused, knowledge-based economy. Burnham is a catalyst for the Lake Nona Medical City, which is becoming a hub for medical research that will advance scientific discoveries and lead to new breakthroughs.

The Burnham Institute established a foundation by bringing new expertise to the Lake Nona region.  They have generated research funding that has resulted in new significant scientific discoveries. We’re transferring that model to the Lake Nona campus in Orlando, where scientists are conducting translational research in metabolic disorders, heart disease and cancer.

The new Lake Nona Campus state-of-the-art facility includes an ultra-high throughput screening center, one of only four NIH-funded comprehensive chemical screening centers in the country, complete with three robotic arms capable of conducting more than one million experiments per day. Sophisticated research platforms in genomics and metabolomics will enable scientists to define molecular and genetic “blueprints” of specific diseases. With advanced technologies, highly credentialed scientists and top-tier partnerships, Burnham is forming the foundation for a world-class discovery and translational research center.
