Burnham Institute Officially Opens in Orlando

The Burnham Institute for Medical Research officially dedicated its new 175,000-square-foot facility at the Lake Nona Science and Technology Park on Thursday, October 8. The research facility is the anchor for the Lake Nona complex — also known as Orlando’s Medical City — and the east coast campus of the La Jolla, California-based organization. For meeting planners, this means an invaluable pool of highly qualified speakers for your educational programming.

The opening of the 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 Medical City, which is becoming a hub for medical research that will advance scientific discoveries and lead to breakthrough therapies.
