What We Do
Gladstone's mission is to drive a new era of discovery in disease-oriented science and to mentor tomorrow’s leaders in an inspiring and diverse environment. Although Gladstone shares traits with other top life science organizations, we pride ourselves on taking uncommon scientific paths to overcoming disease. Our investigators are selected to become authorities in leading or creating new fields, and we work to provide them with resources to explore bold new thoughts, form effective scientific teams, and create or master emerging research technologies that accelerate progress—Gladstone’s special recipe for success that has yielded some of the most important biomedical advances of our time. Our three disease-focused institutes constitute the core of our discovery engine, but do not operate in isolation. We are seizing unprecedented opportunities for “convergence”—defined as the blending of intellectual and physical assets from multiple scientific disciplines and fields to speed the discovery process in our attack on unsolved health problems that affect almost every human family.
