  • Scripps Research Front Row Lecture
    How do you feel? Molecules that sense touch and other pressures - Front Row lecture with Ardem Patapoutian, PhD Description: The inner workings of the brain have eluded neuroscientists for ages—including how we perceive sensations such as touch, pain, sound and even blood flow. In this free in-person Front Row lecture, Scripps Research professor and Nobel laureate Ardem Patapoutian will discuss the molecular sensors that enable the mind to interpret different physical and chemical stimuli. These discoveries—which Patapoutian was awarded the 2021 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for—are helping answer long-standing questions in neuroscience, such as how cells communicate with each other, how we sense our body in time and space, how these sensors impact different diseases and more. ABOUT SCRIPPS RESEARCH Scripps Research is an independent, nonprofit biomedical institute based in La Jolla, California, and ranked one of the most influential in the world for its impact on innovation. The Front Row lecture series, now in its seventh season, offers an exclusive glimpse into groundbreaking scientific discoveries in action. In 2024 we celebrate a century of turning vision into pioneering impact. Reserve your seat today and learn how our scientists remain at the forefront of advancing the future of science and medicine. We hope you’ll join us—in the front row—for the next century of Science Changing Life. Visit: Scripps Research Front Row Lecture Scripps Research on Instagram and Facebook
