JUPITER, Fla. â Scripps Research is in talks to merge its Jupiter-based biomedical operation with the University of Florida's academic health center's research division in a relationship that pairs private and public institutions.
In 2003, Scripps expanded to Florida on a 30-acre campus adjacent to Florida Atlantic University. Officials said Thursday this merger will spur cooperation with other institutions in Florida, including FAU.
Florida paid Scripps $310 million to open a Florida lab in an effort to entice biotech firms to the state, and Palm Beach County added $269 million.
