The importance of the Institute's achievements has attracted internationally renowned scientists. In the past two years our research staff has doubled, enabling us to expand our focus to include the development of improved diagnostics and treatments for many diseases, such as multiple sclerosis, AIDS, heart disease, diabetes and cancer, as well as the design of improved bone marrow transplant therapy, vaccine delivery technology, and more. In addition, pain management compounds discovered at the Institute are in clinical trials in collaboration with a pharmaceutical company.
