Founded by Henry Riggs in 1997, it is the seventh and newest member of the Claremont Consortium. HistoryHenry Riggs, then president of Harvey Mudd College, established the institute in 1997 to address what he perceived as a lack of scientists trained to convert new scientific discoveries into practical uses. He also became the institute's first president, serving until 2003.[3]The decision to establish Keck Graduate Institute as a seventh Claremont College met with some opposition, particularly from faculty of the other Claremont Colleges who objected to its lack of tenure, and environmentalists who opposed its plans to build a campus next to the Bernard Field Station, an area of undeveloped scrubland. The environmental issue was largely settled when KGI decided to establish its campus at a different location, and other opposition gradually faded.{{Verify source|date=November 2015}}[3][4] The institute received a $50 million endowment from the W. M. Keck Foundation, after which it was named. It awarded its first Master of Bioscience degree in 2002.[3] In 2003, Sheldon Schuster became the second president in the institute's history. He took over from Riggs, who became chairman of the school's board of trustees. Schuster is a biochemist who previously served as director of the University of Florida's biotechnology research program.[5] AcademicsKeck Graduate Institute of Applied Life Sciences is accredited by the Accrediting Commission for Senior Colleges and Universities of the Western Association of Schools and Colleges.[6] The School of Pharmacy and Health Sciences is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE).[7] Academic programs at KGI are organized into two schools, the School of Applied Life Sciences and the School of Pharmacy and Health Sciences. In addition, KGI offers a four-year undergraduate program, the Minerva Schools at KGI, in partnership with the Minerva Project.[8] Research centersKGI maintains four research centers: the Center for Rare Disease Therapies,[9] the Center for Biomarker Research{{Citation needed|date=April 2017}}, the Science Heritage Center{{Citation needed|date=April 2017}} and the Amgen Bioprocessing Center. The Amgen Bioprocessing Center was funded by a 2004 grant of $2 million to KGI from Amgen, a pharmaceutical company based in Thousand Oaks, California. On December 28, 2016, KGI announced a plan to start a Master of Science in Human Genetics and Genetic Counseling program funded by an additional $1.5 million grant from Amgen.[10] Spin-off companiesIonian Technologies was founded in 2000,{{Citation needed|date=April 2017}} and was the first spin-off company to commercialize technology developed at KGI.[11] Ionian focuses on molecular diagnostics for emerging and infectious diseases,[12] and in 2004 was awarded a contract to develop a handheld biothreat detector using isothermal amplification of DNA.[13] Other KGI startups include Zuyder Pharmaceuticals and Claremont BioSolutions.{{Citation needed|date=April 2017}} See also
