The @NIH has awarded a $14.2M Director’s Transformative Research Award to Nobel Prize-winning neuroscientist Ardem Patapoutian (@ardemp), Professor Li Ye (@liye_tsri) and Associate Professor Xin Jin (@xinjin) to map the neural circuits underlying interoception—how the nervous

How do you treat a disease with no cure? For patients with macular telangiectasia type 2 (MacTel)—a rare retinal condition that erodes central vision—the answer just became clearer. After more than a decade of research, a long-standing collaboration between the lab of Scripps

A new study from Marco Mravic’s lab, published in @PNASNews, describes a computer-driven strategy to understand how membrane proteins work at the atomic level by designing synthetic proteins that are easier to study in the lab. The team focused on a common pattern—or

Former Scripps Research assistant professor Shimon Sakaguchi has been awarded the 2025 #NobelPrize in Physiology or Medicine for his discovery of regulatory T cells that drive peripheral immune tolerance, a mechanism of the immune system that prevents autoimmune disease and

Congrats to Scripps Research Associate Professor Xin Jin (@xinjin) on being named one of only 30 @HHMINEWS Freeman Hrabowski Scholars! 🎉 The program honors scientists who pair transformative research with a commitment to mentoring the next generation and creating inclusive lab

How do microbes influence our immune system, and can we leverage this relationship to combat disease? 🧫 In this free Front Row lecture, Scripps Research Professor Howard Hang will delve into his lab’s innovative work at the intersection of chemistry, microbiology and

Across two studies in @ScienceMagazine and @Nature, Phil Baran’s lab (@BaranLabReads) reveals a practical radical cross-coupling platform for constructing complex molecules using sulfonyl hydrazides—cleanly releasing nitrogen like a “rocket boost” for molecular complexity. With

Congrats to Donna Blackmond, professor and the John C. Martin Endowed Chair in Chemistry at Scripps Research, on her election to the Royal Academy of Engineering (@RAEngNews), which recognizes her pioneering technique, Reaction Progress Kinetic Analysis (RPKA), and her work on

Look at this white solid hydrazide—no silica gel purification needed, even the crude mixture works well! I just used one "overnight," and the yield shot up to 95%. This was by far the easiest optimization for me so far. This arylation isn’t very sensitive to water or air. Plus,

A small brain region, the paraventricular nucleus of the thalamus (PVT), may explain why relapse occurs even when alcohol is no longer rewarding. In a study from Scripps Research, researchers found that the PVT becomes highly active when the brain learns to associate alcohol

A new study in @eBioMedicine shows that wearable devices like Apple Watch and Fitbit can detect physiological patterns that align with pregnancy hormone changes, offering a path to remote pregnancy monitoring. Led by Giorgio Quer (@GiorgioQuer), Director of AI at @ScrippsRTI,
