Research Programs

By integrating genomics, digital medicine and advanced informatics, we aim to deepen our understanding of each individual and improve health across their lifespan.

Overview

Translational science is the process of turning observations in the laboratory, clinic and community into interventions that improve the health of individual people and the public.

For decades, our scientists and clinicians have been using the latest innovations in genomics, digital medicine and bioinformatics to tailor medicine to the individual. We are dedicated to building a future where medicine is personalized, effective and accessible.

Digital Medicine

Our scientists are using digital technologies to transform health research, advancing our understanding of how to detect, prevent and manage disease for longer, healthier lives.

Artificial Intelligence

We harness the transformative power of artificial intelligence to push the frontiers of biomedical research and medicine.

Pathogen Genomics

Our scientists are transforming outbreak response by developing genomic tools to study the emergence, evolution and spread of highly pathogenic viruses.

Human Genomics

We combine advanced genomic and informatics technologies to understand the genetic causes and mechanisms of human disease.

All of Us Research Program

We are part of a pioneering national research effort led by the NIH to build the largest health database of its kind with the goal of accelerating precision medicine.

Medicine tailored to you: A century of science changing life

Every patient is unique, and scientists at the Scripps Research Translational Institute (SRTI) believe medicine should reflect this. Physician and professor Eric Topol founded SRTI in 2007 with a mission to individualize healthcare across the country, leveraging advancements in human genomics, wireless digital technologies and artificial intelligence.
