Michael Bollong is a Scripps Fellow in the Department of Chemistry at Scripps Research. His research focuses on the discovery of small molecules that alter cellular fate and identity in various disease states, including molecules that promote organ repair in the heart and lungs and those that block cancer progression and ameliorate cellular stress.
The inaugural Spectrum symposium, hosted on February 20, 2019 in La Jolla, California, convened thought leaders from across the country for discussions around accelerating delivery of novel medicines to the patients desperately in need of new therapies. Over 200 attendees-- foundation representatives, philanthropists, biopharma leaders, healthcare investors and research scientists-- listened to Scripps Research scientists share their basic and translational research efforts. The symposium inspired follow-up discussions about potential initiatives and collaborations to impact public health.
