SRI's Center for Health Sciences uses a multidisciplinary research approach to address complex challenges that arise at the interface of basic sciences, clinical medicine, health care economics, and the regulatory and legal environments. The Center established the Northern California Twin Registry in 1995, now Twin Research Registry™ at SRI International. There are currently more than 2700 active members in the Registry.
