About the Institute

An independent think tank bringing scientific inquiry to health and education, with a focus on the conditions that shape human wellbeing.

Independent by purpose.
Scientific by foundation.

The Salsano Institute was co-founded by Sandro Salsano and a group of scientists and PhD researchers.

Supported by an initial pledge from the Salsano family, the Institute advances research in chronic disease and free access to education. Its offices are in Washington, D.C. and London.
