Who We Are

The Palo Alto Medical Foundation Research Institute was created in 1950 as a center for basic and clinical research. Its first scientist, Marcus Krupp, M.D., began his work in a converted Victorian house in downtown Palo Alto. Now, more that 50 years later, the Institute operates a new, state-of-the-art research facility and continues its tradition of excellence.

Future plans include working with clinicians and administrators to provide better healthcare for patients at a lower cost to society.
