When the Burnham Institute for Medical Research celebrates its official dedication today with the first building to open at Lake Nona’s emerging medical city, there will be plenty of speeches and tours highlighting its robotics, laser microscope system and other cutting-edge technology in the $85 million facility.

Dr. Daniel Kelly, an internationally recognized cardiovascular researcher and scientific director of the Lake Nona institute, is charged with assembling an all-star team of pioneering researchers working to reveal the fundamental causes of today’s diseases and come up with the cures and therapies of tomorrow.
