Scripps Research scientist Prof. Jeffery Kelly received an unexpected visit from a patient whose life was dramatically improved by tafamidis—a revolutionary drug for treating neurodegenerative and heart diseases, developed by Kelly himself. Kelly is a leading figure at Scripps Research, spearheading efforts to address some of the most pressing medical challenges, including Alzheimer’s and various amyloid diseases. His cutting-edge research on protein misfolding has not only led to the development of tafamidis but has also broadened our understanding of protein aggregation disorders.
Join us for an upcoming Front Row lecture where Kelly will explore his groundbreaking work on protein misfolding diseases, which has uncovered key information in the fight against conditions like dementia and heart failure.
