On January 4, 2024, the California Institute of Immunology and Immunotherapy (CIII) celebrated the establishment of its future home at UCLA Research Park in Los Angeles.

Michelson Philanthropies founder Dr. Gary K. Michelson and Michelson Philanthropies co-chair Alya Michelson joined Governor Gavin Newsom, UC leaders, and other philanthropists to announce the purchase of a 700,000 square foot property at the site of the former Westside Pavilion mall. The research park will also be home to the Center for Quantum Science and Engineering.

CIII will become a hub of innovation and the world’s leading center for decoding the human immune system. The pioneering research center, uniquely combining quantum computing, artificial intelligence, and biomedical research, holds immense potential to revolutionize how we treat diseases and solve global climate challenges.

A range of researchers and investigators will pursue their discoveries and innovations at CIII to make profound, lifesaving advancements in the landscape of immunological research, medical innovation, and human health.
