Janet Mock and her husband, Jeff, traveled from their home in Rancho Palos Verdes, California, to Scripps Research in La Jolla in early May 2019 on a mission: to personally deliver a bequest from Janet’s aunt, Edna Canham, to the institute.
Jeffery Kelly
Elite chemist Jeffery Kelly, PhD, values the people and organizations that have supported the investigations in his laboratory at Scripps Research over the years. “We’re so appreciative of our philanthropic funding that empowers us to do the meticulous, cutting-edge research required for the development of first-in-class drugs,” he says.
Steve Rosenberg
Steve Rosenberg’s connection with Scripps Research began with a hunt for alternatives to opioid medications and their many adverse side effects. His wife, Toni, had recently passed away after receiving a lethal dose of a prescribed pain patch. There had to be better options, he reasoned.
