Governor Newsom, joined by leaders like University of California President Michael Drake and UCLA Chancellor Gene Block, proudly introduced the California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy (CIII).

This innovative hub converges quantum computing, artificial intelligence, and biomedical research, poised to redefine the realms of science and medicine. The institute aims to decipher the complexities of the human immune system, elevate California’s global medical research standing, and foster a collaborative environment.

This public and philanthropic partnership was championed by the visionary leadership of Governor Gavin Newsom, Chancellor Gene Block, John Mazziotta, and founding donors Meyer Luskin, Dr. Gary Michelson, Dr. Eric Esrailian, Dr. Arie Belldegrun, Sean Parker, and Michael Milken.

The Institute will unite California’s medical research assets to foster inter-institutional dream teams, promote health, and cultivate a thriving biotech ecosystem.

Much like Silicon Valley’s influence on information technology, CIII heralds a new economic and innovative era for California.
