IGNITING INNOVATION.
Continue the Conversation
The third annual Scripps Research Biotech Innovation Summit brought together scientists, industry leaders, investors, entrepreneurs and partners for a day centered on the ideas and connections shaping biotechnology. The day showed what’s possible when great science meets the people who can help carry it forward. Some of the highlights:
Industry & Investor Perspectives – Attendees heard from a powerhouse speaker lineup of leaders at Google Cloud, OpenAI, AbbVie, J&J, and more.
Faculty Innovation Spotlights – Scripps Research PIs gave pitches highlighting groundbreaking new technologies available for partnering.
Groundbreaking Partnerships in Action – A peek behind the curtain at the newly-announced PerturbAI partnership with OpenAI and Scripps Research, featuring Perturb-Seq technology from the lab of Xin Jin, PhD. Answering the question: What happens when experimental biology meets frontier AI?
AI-Enabled Discovery – The latest in functional genomics, molecular design, and structural biology.
Curated Networking – Expert Lean-In Sessions gave attendees another opportunity to join the conversation. From asking challenging questions to sharing perspectives from their own work and connecting with people they might not otherwise have met, these intentional discussions created space for new relationships, ideas and potential partnerships to take shape.
Translational Innovation – Exclusive updates on clinical-stage programs, digital clinical trials, and the translational capabilities of Scripps Research and Calibr-Skaggs.
