As Scripps Research celebrates our centennial, take a look at some of the major milestones over the past 100 years: from our founding in 1924, to our transformational leaders, and multiple Nobel Prize wins.
Since its founding by philanthropist and journalist Ellen Browning Scripps in 1924, Scripps Research has remained at the forefront of science and medicine. Located in Torrey Pines, the institute now houses six research departments, multiple Nobel laureates and a top-ranked graduate school. Discoveries at Scripps Research have led to 15 approved medicines, including five invented within the institute’s labs. Scripps Research has also been an influential force in shaping the bioscience community atop the Torrey Pines Mesa, which is now a thriving and collaborative ecosystem of academic institutions, biopharmaceutical companies and nonprofit organizations.
As Scripps Research enters a new century, the institute plans to expand its global impact on science and human health. Researchers will continue pursuing bold, transformative ideas, while translating these foundational discoveries into life-saving medicines. These are aimed at treating a spectrum of severe conditions, including cancer, neurological disorders, infectious diseases and much more.
