The J. Craig Venter Institute is a non-profit genomics research institute founded by J. Craig Venter, Ph.D. in 2004. (Venter first announced the existence of the Institute on 29 September 2004.) The Institute was the result of consolidating three organizations: the Center for the Advancement of Genomics, the Institute for Biological Energy Alternatives, and the J. Craig Venter Science Foundation Joint Technology Center. The Institute studies the societal implications of genomics in addition to genomics itself. The Institute's research is said to involve genomic medicine; environmental genomic analysis; clean energy; synthetic biology; and ethics, law, and economics. The Institute employs two hundred employees and/or volunteers.
