Roughly 100,000 people die each year from venomous snakebites. To change that, Irene Khalek, PhD, a staff scientist in the Jardine lab at Scripps Research, is designing a universal antivenom that could protect against all medically relevant snakebites.

At Science in Action, a new Front Row post-lecture activity, Lairson’s lab showed attendees how they apply cellular and molecular techniques to drive myelin repair, from guiding stem cell differentiation to modeling neural signaling. See the full talk:

What if the future of medicine prioritized access over profit?. Calibr-Skaggs scientists are advancing single-dose treatments and chemical vaccines to address health challenges long overlooked by industry. Read the full feature:

Congrats to Donna Blackmond, recipient of the 2025 Centenary Prize for Chemistry and Communication from @RoySocChem—awarded for pioneering work in kinetic methods of organic catalysis, asymmetric catalysis mechanisms, homochirality, and excellence in communication.

Prof. Jin-Quan Yu (@YulabJin) will receive the 5th Akira Suzuki Award for his research on C–H bond activation, which makes it easier to build complex molecules. His work accelerates advances in pharmaceuticals, molecular tools and materials science. More:

This year on #SCL, we’ve had some amazing scientists join us to share their work, their stories and what drives them. There’s one question we love to ask our guests: What advice would you give to scientists just starting out?Hear what they had to say:

In a study published in @ScienceTM, Scripps Research scientists show that pairing two vaccine adjuvants elicits a stronger, longer-lasting immune response against HIV in a preclinical model. More:

Calibr-Skaggs has dosed the first patient in a phase 1 trial evaluating CLBR001 + ABBV-461, a novel switchable CAR-T cell therapy for metastatic breast cancer. The therapy is being tested in solid tumors for the first time, in collaboration with @AbbVie.

The @US_FDA has approved ENCELTO, a first-of-its-kind eye implant that slows vision loss in rare eye disease. The cell-based therapy developed by @NeurotechPharma with roots at Scripps Research offers new hope for patients with MacTel type 2. More:

A new @CellStemCell article co-authored by Scripps Research Prof. Jeanne Loring calls for genetically diverse reference iPSC lines to better benchmark disease modeling, drug testing, and regenerative medicine. Full article:

Last week, we hosted our third Biotech Salon—with Savills and UBS—to foster dialogue among biotech innovators and the scientific community. We heard from a distinguished panel, all deeply connected to the institute, discussing the challenges and opportunities shaping the field.

Females may be more biochemically sensitive to alcohol, long before dependence sets in. A Scripps Research study could help guide personalized treatment strategies for alcohol use disorder, especially for women and those in early stages of harmful use.

Scripps Research and Gero (@hacking_aging) have used AI to identify drugs that combat aging by targeting multiple age-related biological pathways at once. In the new study, over 70% of the drugs identified by AI extended the lifespan of C. elegans worms.

As a modestly sized institute, what has enabled Scripps Research to have such an outsized impact?. In the latest issue of Scripps Research Magazine, President and CEO Pete Schultz shares his vision for the next century of innovation. Read now:
