Scripps Research is one of the world's largest, private, non-profit biomedical research organizations. We are Science Changing Life.
@scripps.eduCongrats to Assoc. Prof. Keren Lasker on receiving a 2026 DARPA Young Faculty Award to engineer biomolecular condensates as “toxin traps” that capture and neutralize toxins. Once developed, Assoc. Prof. Michael G. Constantinides will lead preclinical studies evaluating their effectiveness.
@hhmi-science.bsky.socialReposted by @scripps.eduProteins can reshape themselves in less than a millisecond. Now, #HHMIInvestigator Dorothee Kern & team @scripps.edu have developed a machine learning model to predict these rapid changes, & it could help researchers uncover new connections between protein movement & human health: bit.ly/4d6klPH
@gairdnerawards.bsky.socialReposted by @scripps.eduJoin Dr. Kelly to explore how his research on protein aggregation led to the discovery of tafamidis, the first effective drug for slowing the progression of a human amyloid disease.

@scripps.eduCongrats to Asst. Prof. Alejandra Mendoza, recipient of a Discovery Grant from the National Psoriasis Foundation for her work investigating how sensory neurons detect early signals in inflamed skin and communicate with immune cells to regulate inflammation during psoriasis. https://ow.ly/vyap50ZVwZW
@scripps.eduIn our last Front Row lecture, Associate Professor Giordano Lippi explored how tiny molecules called microRNAs help control production of the right proteins at the right place and time to build complex networks that drive thought, learning and behavior.
