Scripps Research Institute scientists convert human skin cells into sensory neurons

New TSRI study shows how brain maps develop to help us perceive the world.

Mimicking natural evolution in a test tube, scientists at The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) have devised an enzyme with a unique property that might have been crucial to the origin of life on Earth.

Method expands options for making pure batches of ‘one-handed’ molecules.

In a new study that could ultimately lead to many new medicines, scientists from the Florida campus of The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) have adapted a chemical approach to turn diseased cells into unique manufacturing sites for molecules that can treat a form of muscular dystrophy.

Study also confirms presence of genetic variation in alcohol-dependent patient population.

The findings open a doorway on an unexplored chemical galaxy containing vast numbers of new molecules for making drugs, plastics and unprecedented smart materials.

Laboratories at The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) are investigating antibodies to fight Ebola virus, including the three antibodies recently used to treat two American health care workers infected with the Ebola virus.

The previously unrecognized layer of biology could offer new drug targets.

The current nonbinding letter of intent on discussions about a broad partnership between the University of Southern California (USC) and The Scripps Research Institute has been terminated by mutual consent of both parties.
