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.
