“My father’s approach to life was simple: Get an education, work hard, and align yourself with the best. That’s why generations of my family have supported Scripps Research’s grad school. The fresh and innovative vision I see today is exactly what my father wanted to facilitate with his support. The faculty and students that face all humans everywhere. They are simply the best, and I’m constantly excited to see what they do next. I believe in their journey, and I love being a part of it.”

“For a lot of the diseases that the Gates Foundation cares about, biotech and pharma aren’t going to focus on it. The idea that we can tap into Calibr scientists…they have been fantastic. We have a lot of active programs and they’re making a huge difference. They have a set of tools and integrated thinking we can’t find anywhere else.”
