- The Institute for Genomic Research (TIGR),
- Institute for Biological Energy Alternatives (IBEA),

It has two locations in Rockville , Maryland and La Jolla , California.
Among other things, the institute is involved in the human genome project. His other projects included the complete sequencing of the genome of Haemophilus influenzae in 1995.
