đŹ Behind Every Breakthrough are bold ideas powered by research funding.
đ At Scripps Oceanography, scientists like Brad MooreâDistinguished Professor at Scripps Oceanography and the Skaggs School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciencesâare leading the charge to source and develop compounds from nature that are being used to develop the next generation of medicines.
According to Moore and others at Scripps researching marine natural products, the ocean is the last biome on Planet Earth that has yet to be studied in depth, and the potential for medicinal discovery from the ocean is vast and can translate to real, consequential new drugs. Nowhere else in the world is research of such magnitude being conducted on the biomedical potential of marine resources as at UC San Diego, where scientists are studying biologically active molecules that are showing effectiveness against cancer, antibiotic-resistant infections, malaria, and for pain management, obesity, and neurodegeneration.
The discoveries of tomorrow depend on the support we give today. Join UC San Diego in advocating to protect federal research funding.
