Michael Karin, PhD, has long been fascinated by what happens when inflammation--ideally a short-term burst of biological activity to promote healing or fight infection--turns chronic and potentially deadly. He joined Sanford Burnham Prebys on June 30, 2025, where he will continue investigating how chronic inflammation can promote tumor formation. Karin also will serve as director of the new Center for Metabolic and Liver Diseases.
