Diversity

Community and Education

More than 40 years ago, a vision first took shape in the form of the Institute's High School Scholars program, which today is one of three signature programs of Salk's Education Outreach department.

Whether internationally, nationally or in San Diego, sharing the knowledge of Salk science, volunteerism and philanthropy creates a powerful ripple effect that enhances and shapes the future of science.

Salk's community involvement is powerful and diverse and is key to training the next generation of scientists.

Vision

Every cure has a starting point. Like Dr. Jonas Salk when he conquered polio, Salk scientists are dedicated to innovative biological research. Exploring the molecular basis of diseases makes curing them more likely. In an outstanding and unique environment we gather the foremost scientific minds in the world and give them the freedom to work collaboratively and think creatively. For over 50 years this wide-ranging scientific inquiry has yielded life-changing discoveries impacting human health. We are home to Nobel Laureates and members of the National Academy of Sciences who train and mentor the next generation of international scientists. We lead biological research. We prize discovery. Salk is where cures begin.
