Ellison Medical Institute

Reimagining medicine, transforming lives

The Ellison Medical Institute strives to spark innovation, leverage technology, and drive interdisciplinary, patient-centered research to continually enhance health, reimagine and redefine cancer care, and transform lives.

Established in 2016 as a medical research and development center, the Institute features innovation labs for artificial intelligence and molecular analytics and was among the first organizations to vertically integrate the interdisciplinary study and treatment of disease. We offer multifaceted programs, including a preventative medicine and cancer clinic, cross-disciplinary research laboratories, a health policy think-tank, and community outreach and educational programs.

Who we are

Led by Founding CEO Dr. David Agus, the Institute is comprised of dedicated scientists, clinicians, and thought leaders who have joined together to advance medical science and make a meaningful, positive impact on the lives of patients.

What we do

We draw collaborators from health and preventative medicine, as well as a broad range of other disciplines – such as physics, math, and engineering – to study how to prevent, detect, and treat cancer and other complex diseases.

Why we do it

We are committed to driving innovation in research for patient benefit. By leveraging advanced technologies and expanding our clinical trial efforts, we aim to design and deliver data-driven, personalized treatment approaches for every individual.

Dr. David Agus, Founding CEO of the Ellison Medical Institute

“By reimagining the ways cancer and other complex diseases are diagnosed, prevented, studied and treated, we will create a bold new model for treatment and care.”

Under the leadership of Dr. David Agus, the Institute tackles difficult questions in medical research and healthcare to improve patient outcomes and our understanding of disease.
