Biologist Gerald “Jerry” Joyce takes over as Salk president next month with the task of expanding the campus and answering the question: what’s next?
“As much as we admire all the great achievements in the past, it’s all about what we do next,” he said.“We now see a union of biological systems with new technology, especially computational technology to harvest big data, and use that as a guide to experiments and hypothesis formation,” Joyce said.“The scale of this data set is insane. It’s not only large, it’s multi-variant. You’re trying to mesh different data streams together.
Joyce will take over as the Salk Institute is expanding. They are fundraising for a new building that will add 100,000 square feet to the physical footprint. They expect to increase their faculty, now at just over 50 professors, by 20%. As president, Joyce can’t just be a scientist. He’s got to be responsible for the future expansion and for the Institute's culture. In the past five years, Salk hasJoyce responded by saying there has been a shift in the culture of the Salk Institute.
“We are much more collaborative, and much more inclusive than we were five years ago, 10 years ago and 15 years ago,” Joyce said. “That may be a trend across all of science but at Salk, we really believe in that, day to day, and you see that in the type of new faculty hires we make and across all positions at Salk Institute.”
