In 1974, ground was broken on The Scripps Clinic and Research Foundation’s new site on the Torrey Pines mesa.

The site was developed after the original Scripps Metabolic Clinic, founded in 1924, separated from Scripps Memorial Hospital and became an independent research organization.

From identifying the root cause of autoimmune diseases to improving cancer treatments to addressing viral infections on a global scale, our scientists are paving the way to the future.
