Congrats to our grad students who pitched therapeutic targets at this year's Scripps Research Graduate Program Drug Discovery Shark Tank - particularly Shelby Shelby Ferrier and Morgan Morgan Gee on their winning proposal to target Cholera toxin subunit B, which raised $4 million!


Scripps Research Assoc. Prof. Anne Hanneken and UCSD Engineering Prof. Shadi Dayeh are part of a national team developing advanced techniques to revive donor eyes and regenerate optic nerves, with the potential to make vision-restoring transplants a reality. ow.ly/7e1m50Ul6Hv





In a new op-ed for The San Diego Union-Tribune, Scripps Research President & CEO Pete Schultz explains how changes to federal science funding could impact biomedical research, innovation & San Diego’s life sciences ecosystem. sandiegouniontribune.com/2025/02/25/opi…

For years, ulcerative colitis was thought to be just inflammation. What if that’s wrong? In our latest Q&A, Amy Lee Lightner, MD explains why hidden scarring (fibrosis) may be the missing piece in treating UC—and how earlier intervention could change everything. ow.ly/OZhV50VfePV


Out today in ACS Publications Chem Bio, we uncovered a potential therapeutic resistance mechanism to TEAD inhibitors through direct competition of the binding pocket with increased levels of Palmitoyl-CoA. Check it out now! pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…


A 2-for-1 resistance mechanism! Inspired by our colleague Michael Erb, Kayla Nutsch, PhD demonstrates that increased levels of acyl-CoAs not only promote resistance to active site HAT inhibitors but TEAD inhibitors as well. pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…



We’re still buzzing from Commencement! We asked our new PhDs: How does it feel crossing the stage and what’s next after Scripps Research Graduate Program? 🎓✨
