Conrad Prebys, president of Progress Construction and Management, has made a $10 million contribution to the Burnham Institute for Medical Research in support of its drug discovery center. Previously known as the Burnham Center for Chemical Genomics, the newly renamed Conrad Prebys Center for Chemical Genomics comprises a multi-disciplinary group of scientists at Burnham’s campuses in Orlando, Florida and La Jolla, California. According to an article in the Orlando Business Journal, when both facilities are fully operational, the center will be capable of screening more than two million chemical compounds per day in order to discover novel prototypes for the next generation of medicines.
