T. Denny Sanford Institute for Empathy and Compassion at University of California San Diego

Catalyzed by Denny Sanford's vision and generosity, the T. Denny Sanford Institute for Empathy and Compassion at University of California San Diego was founded with a generous donation in July 2019. Harnessing the deep neurobiological resources and expertise in social sciences, engineering, data science and other disciplines throughout UC San Diego as well as the University’s international reputation for collaboration and innovative thought, the Sanford Institute seeks answers and remedies, leading a new era of health care based upon empathy validated by science. The Institute represents an unprecedented blending of two parallel themes: employing the unyielding rigor and tools of science to establish the neurological basis for empathy in the brain to identify the mechanisms that transform compassion from biology to behavior, and experimenting with and developing new ways to teach and instill empathy and compassion in clinicians currently practicing and in the teaching of future generations of health professionals.
