UCSF QBI and Sanford Burnham Prebys Medical Discovery Institute (SBP) are collaborating to promote the missions of both Institutes so that faculty members at QBI will have unencumbered access to SBP’s drug discovery capability. This arrangement will enable the integration of academic innovation, technical knowledge, and domain expertise found at UCSF QBI with disciplined and milestone oriented drug discovery processes and insights developed at SBP to forge a critical path towards pre-clinical or early clinical proof of concept.
