Los Angeles-based Ellison Medical Institute, a cancer research center established with funding from Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison, will lay off 88 employees.
The permanent layoffs will take effect Jan. 3, 2027, according to a WARN notice filed Nov. 4 with the California Employment Development Department and reviewed by Becker’s.
The Ellison Medical Institute operates a cancer and preventive medicine clinic, research labs focused on AI and molecular analytics, and a health policy think tank, according to the institute’s website.
The institute was established in 2016 as the Lawrence J. Ellison Institute for Transformative Medicine of USC, backed by a $200 million gift from Mr. Ellison to the University of Southern California in Los Angeles, and later separated from the university, according to a Nov. 12 report from the Los Angeles Times.
Becker’s has reached out to Ellison Medical Institute for comment and will update this story if more information becomes available.
At the Becker's Perioperative Summit, taking place September 14–15 in Chicago, perioperative leaders and healthcare executives will focus on improving operating room efficiency, enhancing patient safety, optimizing staffing and driving innovation across surgical services.
