Focus On
 The
Next Big Thing
There are certain scientific advances that have had the
power to change the human experience: the development of
penicillin, the polio vaccine, the Human Genome project… Many
scientists expect that stem cell advances will soon be added
to this list.
Leading
the way in this burgeoning area of
research are Professor Jeanne Loring and her
colleagues at Scripps Research Institute's new Center for
Regenerative Medicine.
Milestones in Medical Science
 Bringing
the Venture Spirit to Addiction Research
Mark Pearson, who lost his parents to alcoholism, has
brought his ability to make things happen to alcohol and
addiction research.
Thanks to his generous support, the Pearson Center for
Alcoholism and Addiction Research at the Institute is
combining the latest biomedical research with innovative
clinical treatment to battle
some of the leading causes of premature death in the United
States.

 Scientific
Minds, Present and Future, Meet in Scripps Research Labs this
Summer
As students across the country race from their
classrooms to pools, beaches and summer camps, a select few
will be joining
scientific leaders in the lab at Scripps Research’s California
and Florida campuses.
As members of the lab, these students will experience
the joys and frustrations of basic biomedical research and
return to school in the fall with scientific enthusiasm to
rival their classmates’ tans. |

| Facts & Figures |
| Our scientists have developed a new
method for economically producing a pharmaceutical
steroid with promise for treating conditions ranging
from macular degeneration to cancer. The molecule was
isolated from a marine sponge. |
NIH Cuts Funding
The National Institutes of Health’s
budget was decreased by $581 million in fiscal 2008.
This cut will drastically affect funding of Scripps
Research’s life-saving research.
That's why we are calling on the
support of forward-thinking individuals like you. Please
do your part to keep biomedical research moving forward.
