Scripps Research

Scripps Research is pioneering a new model for nonprofit research institutes to address the significant health challenges facing humanity in the 21st century, from pandemic threats to the aging of the global population. Founded 100 years ago, Scripps Research is renowned in the life sciences and chemistry for scientific excellence and for training the scientific leaders of tomorrow. Building on this solid foundation, we have established a unique model that seamlessly combines world-class fundamental and translational research to accelerate the development of innovative, new medicines. We believe this model best captures the impact of groundbreaking discoveries for the benefit of human health.

Moreover, revenues generated from these new medicines are reinvested into research, creating a self-renewing funding source and business model that amplifies investments in science and their ultimate impact on the public. Scripps Research is not only impacting human health but is also creating a self-renewing revenue stream from partnering these medicines with pharma for further development. These licensing revenues are then reinvested into research programs, ensuring a continuous stream of scientific breakthroughs and a strong pipeline of next-generation transformative medicines. Our commitment extends beyond scientific excellence as we strive to train the next generation of scientific leaders through our Skaggs Graduate School of Chemical and Biological Sciences.
