With support from The National Institutes of Health (NIH), UF Chemist Matthew Disney and The Herbert Wertheim UF Scripps Institute for Biomedical Innovation & Technology is using RNA molecules to build a search-and-destroy system for multiple incurable diseases, including ALS, dementia, muscular dystrophy, Parkinson’s, advanced cancers, COVID-19 and several rare diseases.
We like to say this institute has outstanding DNA, because it’s true! Jeff Atwater, former Florida CFO and state senator, was one of the original negotiators on the deal that created our biomedical research campus. This week we welcomed Atwater back to campus, where he presented our CFO, James Lapple with the original 2003 signed document creating the Scripps Florida Funding Corporation, the oversight board that managed our economic development grant. We’re delighted to have this significant piece of our history from his time in the legislature. We will treasure this piece of our past as we forge ahead toward our fourth year under the banner of the University of Florida. Our dedication to biomedical research, drug discovery and education of the next generation of scientists continues unabated, as our innovators continue making a profound impact in the state and the world. Thank you for your vision and your generosity, Jeff Atwater! (Who is also a Gator!)

When you reach into your handbag, how do you know when you've grabbed your pen instead of your lip balm? Thank your brain's knack for touch-based sensory perception. Wertheim UF Scripps Institute professor Gavin Rumbaugh, Ph.D. and staff scientist Thomas Vaissiere, Ph.D., discovered that mutations to an autism-linked gene called Syngap1 can alter the signals that enable touch-based sensory perception. / Photo credit: Scott Wiseman University of Florida UF Health Norman Fixel Institute for Neurological Diseases McKnight Brain Institute of the University of Florida National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) The National Institutes of Health https://lnkd.in/ebHU6nKw

Feeling thirsty for knowledge? Meet your neighbors who work in Jupiter's labs this Friday! Scientists from area research institutes will be at downtown Abacoa and the DAS Beer Garden wearing "Ask Me Anything" t-shirts and stickers. They will be ready to answer your questions about how memory works, why cancer is so hard to treat, how we're solving these questions and more! Come and learn about discoveries being made in your local community, courtesy of the local Society of Research Fellows chapter.
