Ask any of our renowned team of scientists what brought them to the La Jolla Institute for Allergy & Immunology and they will tell you it was largely due to the collaborative research atmosphere.  The Institute has 22 of the most engaged, talented, cutting-edge masters in the field of immunology research.  Even more remarkable, they talk to each other - daily. The Institute designed our laboratories and workspaces to inspire interaction and discovery, enabling our talented faculty to flourish in an environment brimming with activity.  When you visit the Institute, you see people - people talking, people huddled in groups in deep discussions, people deeply committed to solving the mysteries of the human body's immune response. 

Each day our scientists work on the front lines of scientific research - at the cellular level - where cures and new treatments first come to light.  And light is something you will find as a recurring theme in our research. The Institute is guided by the principle of light and openness, even as our faculty shed light on the composition and role of the immune system in nearly every disease, from viral infections to inflammatory and autoimmune diseases.  Light, inspiration, open spaces, collaboration.

Every world-class scientist at the Institute embodies this collaborative perspective, and brings to the bench the best qualities as investigator, educator, researcher and visionary. Together, we are working toward a new era in human health, where the suffering brought by immune system diseases is a thing of the past.
