Torrey Pines - St. Lucie County - In 2006, Dr. Houghten and the Torrey Pines Institute embarked on expansion into the State of Florida. It all started with a phone call from Governor Jeb Bush and the wheels were put into motion. This endeavor was made possible through the support of the State of Florida through the Innovation Incentive Fund, the City of Port St. Lucie, Core Communities, the Economic Development Council of St. Lucie County, Florida Atlantic University, and St. Lucie County. Torrey Pines Institute in Florida will be housed in temporary labs and offices until the 104,000 square foot green-certified building is completed at the Florida Center for Innovation in Tradition at the end of 2008. Currently, the Institute has 20 employees researching new methods for drug discovery and pain management.

Burnham Institute - Orlando - Burnham is building the Institute’s new facility at Lake Nona, Orlando. It is a 600-acre Science & Technology Park. Burnham Institute and the University of Central Florida College of Medicine will serve as cornerstone elements of the budding cluster, which, when complete, is projected to have a potential economic impact of billions of dollars and generate thousands of jobs in the next ten years, according to a Milken Institute study. Lake Nona’s Science & Technology Park is also the preferred site for the Orlando Veterans Affairs Hospital and the Nemours Orlando Children’s Hospital and Research Campus.   Read More About Burnham's Orlando Park - Click Here
