A new vision for science

Scripps Research is pioneering a new model for nonprofit research institutes to address the significant health challenges facing humanity in the 21st century, from pandemic threats to the aging of the global population. Founded 100 years ago, Scripps Research is renowned in the life sciences and chemistry for scientific excellence and for training the scientific leaders of tomorrow. Building on this solid foundation, we've established a unique model that seamlessly combines world-class fundamental and translational research to accelerate the development of innovative, new medicines. We believe this model best captures the impact of groundbreaking discoveries for the benefit of human health. Moreover, revenues generated from these new medicines are reinvested into research, creating a self-renewing funding source and business model that amplifies investments in science and their ultimate impact on the public.

Studying sleep with wearable devices: How technology can help us sleep better

A good night’s sleep is one of the keys to feeling good the next day. But how do we know if we’re getting enough? Assistant Professor Stuti Jaiswal and her colleagues at the Scripps Research Translational Institute and the Digital Trials Center recently launched a study called REFRESH. It uses wearable data to track participants’ sleep. Since participants never have to go to a lab, researchers can see how they sleep over long periods of time, and gain insight into how sleep affects their health. As technology advances, and studies like refresh give researchers a better understanding of sleep, a day could come when everyone has the tools to sleep better.
