The Hanna H. Gray Fellowship supports early career life scientists and promotes diversity within the biomedical research community.

Thomas Edgington, an outstanding scientist and a world leader in the field of vascular biology, passed away Jan. 22, 2021. He enjoyed a 55 year career at Scripps Research.

Rapid genetic sequencing of COVID-19 virus samples isn’t enough; standardized lab tests are needed to understand potential mutations that may boost infectiousness or enable immune evasion.

By providing a new level of clarity into how deep learning systems reach their medical diagnoses, scientists hope this AI approach will fuel a new era of preventative medicine.

Scientists will distribute 10,000 Fitbit devices in an effort to understand study participant engagement.

Structural biologists have created the first-ever atomic-scale maps of antibodies bound to elusive molecules implicated in a range of diseases.

Ralph Reisfeld, PhD, a longtime senior scientist at Scripps Research and pioneer in the fields of immunology and cancer, passed away at his La Jolla home on December 6, 2020. He was 94.

To drive global research efforts, the Center for Viral Systems Biology at Scripps Research is tracking the prevalence of new variants of SARS-CoV-2 and making this information publicly available.

A Scripps Research chemist who employs enzymes as tools to assemble useful natural compounds has been awarded a prestigious 2021 Sloan Research Fellowship for his work.

A sensor protein plays an unexpected and important role in regulating iron levels in the body, according to a new study.

Warning that the next fast-spreading virus may not be as accommodating as the coronavirus driving COVID-19, they call for a new approach to pandemic preparedness.  

The study will leverage genomics and digital technologies to better understand factors that contribute to obesity and type 2 diabetes. 

A phase 1 trial testing a vaccine to prevent HIV has produced promising results, stimulating production of rare immune cells that begin the process of generating antibodies against the fast-mutating virus.

In early tests, the vaccine was able to diminish fatal respiratory effects of fentanyl and carfentanil.

The priority review is based on results from a placebo-controlled Phase 3 trial evaluating ozanimod as a therapy for moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis.

Scripps Research, Florida has received a $1.8 million philanthropic gift from the William R. Kenan, Jr. Charitable Trust to support science education training.

Through their discovery, scientists expanded what's known about how the brain controls muscles and may have opened the door to potential treatments for children with certain rare disorders.

Scripps Research scientists engineer potentially safer glucocorticoids, a group of drugs used to treat COVID-19, auto-immune disease, and many other conditions.

Scripps Research President Peter Schultz calls for investment in the development of anti-viral drugs to combat viruses most likely to cause the next global pandemic.

Topol to be honored alongside Drs. Anthony Fauci and Wayne Riley, as well as hundreds of healthcare professionals for their dedication and compassion during the COVID-19 crisis.  

Structural studies reveal the role of an iron-rich molecule, heme, in bringing together gene transcription factors involved in sleep, immunity and metabolism.

Patapoutian is recognized for world-class research that provided the molecular basis for how temperature and pressure are perceived.

Findings suggest COVID-19 testing should be expanded to those without symptoms who may be unknowingly spreading the virus to others.

Schultz has made many innovative and pioneering contributions to the interface between chemistry and biology, including the rational expansion of the genetic code.
