Scientists have for the first time shown that a novel compound effectively suppresses production of the virus in chronically infected cells, and prevents viral rebound

TSRI scientists screened a library of 100 million antibodies and found several that can help reprogram mature skin-like cells into stem cells known as induced pluripotent stem cells

Researchers improved the efficiency of the CRISPR-Cpf1 gene editing system by incorporating guide RNAs with "multiplexing" capability

Researchers have discovered a way to structurally modify vancomycin to make an already-powerful version of the antibiotic even more potent

Initial demonstrations yield compounds with promise for treating COPD, cystic fibrosis, and other lung disorders

Professor Michael Farzan, of The Scripps Research Institute has received $4.8 million in funding through a 2017 Avant-Garde Award for HIV/AIDS research

Researchers  demonstrated their new catalytic template by using it to modify—in a way that was previously impossible—molecules that are commonly found in drugs and other biologically active compounds

Chemists at The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) have invented a new technique for constructing chiral drug molecules

Researchers' findings in animal models could have implications for future pharmaceutical development

While applications for this kind of organism are still far in the future, the researchers say the work could be used to create new functions for single-celled organisms that play important roles in drug discovery and much more

Work could lead to new ways to address chronic pain and other conditions where the sense of touch goes haywire
