CELLebrate2016 to Highlight Scripps Florida Science

The seventh annual CELLebrate event on Saturday, March 5 will highlight Scripps Florida’s cutting-edge science with a host of interactive displays and dozens of Scripps Florida scientists on hand. The free, Palm Beach community event will be held at The Gardens Mall, from 10 AM to 3 PM.

The science festival will feature work from Scripps Florida’s research departments, including Cancer Biology, Metabolism & Aging, Neuroscience, Infectious Diseases, Chemistry and Molecular Therapeutics. In addition, the robotics technology group will have its own booth.

Designed to spark the curiosity of children and adults alike, CELLebrate2016 will include a chemistry exhibit featuring phenomena from exploding hydrogen bubbles to the extreme cold effects of liquid nitrogen. The robotics exhibit will also spotlight Scripps Florida’s drug screening capabilities—how specialized robots help scientists search for new therapeutic compounds—and miniature plastic robots “printed” in 3D.

For more information, see the CELLebrate web page.

Nicholas Isley Wins National Research Service Award

Research Associate Nicholas Isley, a member of The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) Boger lab, has been awarded a National Institutes of Health (NIH) Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award (NRSA) three-year postdoctoral fellowship.

According to the NIH, the purpose of the fellowship is to enhance the research training of promising postdoctoral candidates who have the potential to become productive, independent investigators in scientific health-related research fields. NIH figures indicate only about 10 percent of applicants are awarded an NRSA each year.

Isley’s project focuses on Na voltage channels
