Bacteriophage λ provides an exceptionally acces-

sible system for studies on viral maturation. Initial

subunit assembly leads to a properly assembled,

but fragile, particle that is the substrate for double-

stranded DNA packaging enzymes. During DNA

packaging, the particle undergoes reorganization,

increasing its stability and allowing binding of the

stabilization protein gpD. The 14 N-terminal resi-

dues of the bacteriophage cementing protein gpD

are disordered in the absence of the capsid sub-

strate. Upon binding to the capsid shell, a trimer

of gpD molecules stabilizes the capsomers at all

3-fold symmetric sites. Stabilization occurs through

the formation of a 4-stranded β-sheet, which

includes the N terminus of gpD. Shown here is

the N-terminal arm of gpD in a molten/disordered

state, becoming solid as it is integrated into the

λ capsid. Image created by Graham Johnson,

Kellogg School of Science andTechnology

In 2008, the graduate program built on its many suc-cesses and continued to evolve to meet a dynamicfuture. The leadership of the program changed hands

as Jeffery Kelly, Lita Annenberg Hazen Professor ofChemistry and a memberof the Skaggs Institutefor Chemical Biology,went on to assume otherresponsibilities. He isnow chair of the ScrippsResearch Department ofMolecular Biology andchair of the board ofthe Skaggs Institute forResearch, one of theSkaggs family’s majormechanisms for its phil-anthropy. As dean, Jeffpresided over 8 years of tremendous growth in whichthe number of students in the program grew by 50%.The curriculum also underwent significant expansion,and revisions allowed more flexibility in coursework forstudents. In addition to helping establish the graduateprogram as part of the Florida campus, Jeff was instru-mental in establishing the Scripps Research/Universityof California, San Diego (UCSD) Medical Scientist Train-ing Program, the Scripps Research/UCSD Skaggs School of Pharmacy joint degree program,and the prestigious Skaggs Oxford Scholarship Program,a joint academic training program at Scripps Researchand Oxford University.

I am privileged to take over the leadership of theKellogg School, with the valuable support of associatedeans Steven Mayfield and William Roush. My 7 yearsas associate dean of the Kellogg School and 10 yearsas a member of the Scripps Research faculty will informmy leadership of the program. I look forward to workingwith my fellow deans, faculty colleagues, students, andstaff to advance the goal of providing the most conduciveenvironment possible for students to make importantdiscoveries as a stepping stone for their careers.

In the 2008 commencement ceremonies, we recog-nized the accomplishments of 28 students graduatingfrom the Kellogg School program. Their Ph.D. advisorsstepped up to the stage one by one to speak about thearray of scientific and personal accomplishments of each

graduate, including 2 graduates from the Florida campus.Also at the event, the institute awarded an honorarydegree to Scripps Research trustee Claudia S. Luttrell,whose achievements include promoting scientific collabo-ration as a member of the Scripps Research Board ofTrustees, president of the Skaggs Institute for Research atScripps Research, and chair of the Skaggs Oxford Schol-arship Program. Distinguished scientist Scripps ResearchProfessor Ernest Beutler delivered the keynote address,advising the graduates to tackle difficult scientific prob-lems and to distrust scientific dogma and consensus.

The Kellogg School now has more than 300 dis-tinguished alumni, including the 2008 graduates. Recentgraduates have gone on to work in both academia andindustry, including at the University of Chicago, North-western University, the Burnham Institute for MedicalResearch, and the La Jolla Institute of Allergy andImmunology, Pfizer, Celldex Therapeutics, the Geno-mics Institute of the Novartis Research Foundation,Exelixis, and Johnson & Johnson.

As the new academic year began this fall, a recordnumber of students arrived on both the Florida and theCalifornia campuses, bringing the total number of stu-dents at the Kellogg School to 248—including 17 Floridastudents, 10 Skaggs Oxford Scholars, and 2 UCSD Med-ical Scientist Training Program (M.D./Ph.D.) students.For the entering Florida class, an unprecedented 75%of offers extended to students were accepted: 9 of 12offers made.

We held a variety of events to help orient the newstudents, including lunch with the deans, a picnic withcontinuing students, and presentations by the graduateoffice and human resources department. In addition, newstudents enrolled in the required Critical Thinking andCommunication in Science course. In this course, stu-dents examine research methods in experimental biol-ogy and chemistry, gain skills in the communication andassessment of scientific information and ideas, and reviewhow to apply for fellowship awards such as those offeredby the National Science Foundation.

The annual student-faculty symposium in September,held at the Bahia Resort Hotel on San Diego’s MissionBay, provided another kind of learning experience forKellogg School students from both Florida and California,as well as those residing in Great Britain for the SkaggsOxford program. All continuing students presented theirresearch in poster sessions or lectures, honing theirpresentation skills and receiving valuable feedback ontheir individual projects. First-year students also attendedthe symposium, interacting with fellow students and fac-

ulty members, and learning about the research projectsongoing in laboratories throughout Scripps Research.

As in previous years, the stipends and tuitions of theKellogg School students were supported by generousdonations from individuals, foundations, and corpora-tions. These included gifts from the Achievement Rewardsfor College Scientists Foundation, Inc., the AmericanChemical Society, the American Society for EngineeringEducation, the William and Sharon Bauce Family Foun-dation, the Donald and Delia Baxter Foundation, Bristol-Myers Squibb, the Norton B. Gilula Memorial Fund, theFannie and John Hertz Foundation, the Fred HutchisonCancer Research Center, the Fletcher Jones Foundation,Daniel Koshland, Merck and Co., the National Institutes ofHealth, Novartis Institutes of Biomedical Research, Inc.,the Gustavus and Louise Pfeiffer Research Foundation,Roche Pharmaceuticals, the Norman and Margaret LasseyFund at the San Diego Foundation, the Andrea ElizabethVogt Memorial Fund, and anonymous gifts such as thatsupporting the Bagel Graduate Student Fellowship.

New this year was the addition of a Leadership Fel-lows Fund created by the Scripps Research Board of

Trustees to support students in their first year at the Kel-logg School. The new fund is currently supporting 15promising first-year graduate students in their studies.

Even as our academic program is in full swing, wecontinue to make progress in the 3-year process of reac-creditation by the Western Association of Schools andColleges. Our last accreditation, in 1999, was grantedfor 10 years, the maximum period possible. For the cur-rent reaccreditation review, we have established a num-ber of committees, including a steering committee and3 self-study working groups consisting of faculty, students,postdoctoral fellows, and administrative staff, to assessthe program’s strengths and areas for improvement. Wehave also received input from other members of the cam-pus community, including alumni, through our accredita-tion Web site and open forum discussions, surveys, andfocus group sessions.

We appreciate your valuable perspectives and sug-gestions for fine-tuning our program and confirming ourcommitment to excellence.

The Center for IntegrativeMolecular Biosciences

The Center for Integrative Molecular Biosciences(CIMBio) was created in 2002 to foster collabo-rative research dedicated to elucidating structure-

function relationshipsof the cell’s molecularmachines. During thepast year, our facultymade a number of noteworthy scientificadvances. The following list highlights some of this ground-breaking science.

Gaudenz Danusercontinued his cutting-edge work on computational and microscopic methodsfor quantifying cellular processes, in particular thoseinvolving the dynamics of the cellular cytoskeleton andendocytosis. He published several high-profile papersin Nature Methods and Developmental Cell. He washonored for this work by the Biophysical Society, whichawarded him the Michael and Kate Bárány Award forYoung Investigators for his “outstanding seminal con-tributions in diverse areas of cell biology, particularlyto our understanding of cell cytoskeleton dynamicsand function using speckle microscopy.”

Mark Yeager and colleagues published a detailedmolecular model of the full-length capsid protein of HIVtype 1 in Cell. This protein forms a cone-shaped capsidshell around the genome of the virus. The structurereveals novel features of interactions between subunitsin the HIV type 1 capsid that may serve as new tar-gets for antiviral therapy.

Several groups in CIMBio study the assembly andfunctional characterization of virus particles, includingMarianne Manchester, Anette Schneemann, John E.Johnson, and M.G. Finn. Drs. Manchester, Schneemann,and Yeager collaborated to develop a novel virus-basednanoparticle that displays parts of the anthrax toxin cel-lular receptor on its surface. This engineered particleprevented cell death by anthrax toxin and, when com-plexed with the anthrax protective antigen, served asa novel vaccine antigen that could protect animals fromtoxin challenge after a single immunization. Publishedin PLoS Pathogens, this work received wide media cover-

age from Science Daily, The Scientist, and the Asso-ciated Press.

Dr. Manchester also collaborated with Dr. Finn todevelop novel virus-based nanoparticles that specifi-cally target tumor cells, with the long-term goal oftargeting drugs to tumors in the body. Their work, pub-lished in Chemistry and Biology, showed that particlescould be specifically targeted to folic acid receptors thatare upregulated on the surface of tumor cells. Usingnovel chemical methods to vary ligand density, thescientists tailored the particles for receptor recognition.They also developed novel virus-based contrast agentsfor magnetic resonance imaging.

Dr. Finn and his group continued their studies ondisplaying carbohydrates on the surface of virus-basednanoparticles and constructing polyvalent glycan ligandson the surface of particles. In collaboration with JamesPaulson, they showed the usefulness of the particlesas carbohydrate vaccines. This work was highlightedin the Journal of the American Chemical Society.

Claudio Joaziero was the recipient of an AmericanCancer Society Research Scholar award. He publisheda study in PLoS ONE on the genome-wide characteri-zation of E3 ubiquitin ligases. Until this work, hundredsof human E3 ligase-encoding genes were known to exist,but their approximate number and complete inventorywere unavailable, despite their critical importance formany biological processes and diseases. Dr. Joazieroand his group discovered a previously uncharacterizedhuman E3, termed MULAN, that localizes to mitochon-dria, regulates the organelle’s morphology and distrib-ution, and activates NF-κB signaling. The discovery ofMULAN opens the way to determining how mitochon-drial signaling and dynamics are linked, which couldlead to new ways of thinking about these processes.PLoS ONE selected this article, from among more than120 others, to be highlighted as the top research theyhave published on cell signaling. Dr. Joaziero also servedas the co-organizer of the American Association forCancer Research meeting, Ubiquitin and Cancer: FromMolecular Targets and Mechanisms to the Clinic, heldin San Diego.

Several CIMBio postdoctoral fellows and doctoralcandidates received prestigious fellowship awards thisyear. Kristopher Koudelka was awarded fellowshipsfrom the Achievement Rewards for College ScientistsFoundation, Inc., and the Fletcher Jones Foundation.Nicole F. Steinmetz was awarded a fellowship fromthe American Heart Association. Jessica Petrillo was

awarded a Ruth L. Kirchstein Postdoctoral Fellowshipfrom the National Institutes of Health and a Scienceand Technology Policy Fellowship from the AmericanAssociation for the Advancement of Science.

Between November 10 and 16, 2007, the NationalResource for Automated Molecular Microscopy (headedby Bridget Carragher and Clint Potter) held the third ina planned series of biennial training courses designedto provide extensive exposure to electron cryomicroscopyand image analysis. This year, a major goal of the coursewas to discuss some of the challenges in electron cryomi-croscopy that remain to be solved, including improve-ments in specimen preparation, imaging, processing, andreconstruction required to reach higher resolutions andsolve small structures with limited symmetry or confor-mational variability. The course had 111 official partic-ipants, which included many leaders in the field.

Finally, a 5-day training workshop was held at theNational Resource for Automated Molecular Microscopyon March 10 to 14, 2008. The purpose of the work-shop was to introduce the Leginon automated imagingsystem to those groups who want to use it at their homeinstitutions. Participants were from the following institu-tions: University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, HowardHughes Medical Institute/Janelia Farm Research Campus,New York University Medical Center, Biocenter Finland,Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology andGenetics Dresden, Weizmann Institute of Science, YaleUniversity, and the National Institute of Arthritis andMusculoskeletal and Skin Diseases.

Harold L. Dorris NeurologicalResearch Institute

Schizophrenia and major depression affect manymillions of people worldwide. Treatment of thesepsychiatric diseases requires an understanding

of their underpin-nings, and this need is the driving forcefor research at theHarold L. Dorris Neurological ResearchInstitute. Founded in1999 with a $10 mil-lion long-term com-mitment by Ms. HelenDorris through theHarold L. Dorris Foun-dation, named in her brother’s honor, the institute hasattracted an international cadre of scientists from France,Switzerland, Sweden, Mexico, Italy, Spain, and Hungaryin disciplines such as neurology, immunology, chem-

istry, molecular biology, and endocrinology to study neu-rological disorders.

The Harold L. Dorris Neurological Institute also fundsthe Helen Dorris Fellow in Schizophrenia, a named fel-lowship position for a postdoctoral researcher to studyaspects of schizophrenia and depression from molecularand cellular neurobiological perspectives. The currentfellow is Olivia Osborn from Oxford University in England.The visiting professors at the institute in 2007 were thewell-known electrophysiologist and member of the FrenchAcademy of Sciences, Henri Korn from the PasteurInstitute in Paris, France; noted pharmacologist andmember of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences,Lars Terenius from the Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm,Sweden; and molecular immunologist Hermann Gramfrom Novartis Global Research, Basel, Switzerland.

The major lines of research carried out by in vitroand in vivo techniques are on the effects of galanin ondepression and neurogenesis and on IL-1 signaling inthe nervous system and its involvement in stress, depres-sion, and febrile responses.

Helen L. Dorris Child andAdolescent Neuro-PsychiatricDisorder Institute

The sequencing of the human genome promisesto propel humans into the age of molecular medi-cine, where complex diseases are diagnosed and

treated in a patient-and target-specificmanner. For the ner-vous system, in par-ticular, the postge-nome era holds thepotential to delivergroundbreaking newmedicines for previ-ously intractable psychiatric disordersincluding anxiety,depression, and schizophrenia.

However, in order to realize this goal, a new breedof research institute is needed that cultivates cross talk

among many experimental disciplines. Indeed, unravel-ing the complexities of the human brain and behaviorcan only be achieved by bringing together scientists fromdiverse backgrounds and expertise, including chemistry,physics, genetics, and behavior.

The Helen L. Dorris Child and Adolescent Neuro-Psychiatric Disorder Institute was established with agenerous gift from mental health advocate and San DiegoState University professor emeritus Helen L. Dorris. Herinterest in mental health advocacy led her to providethe funding to establish this institute, which has a strongemphasis on interdisciplinary approaches to studies ofneurologic and psychiatric disorders.

Specifically, the aim of scientists at the institute isto uncover the pathologic basis of mental disorders andto develop therapies for these disorders. Several tal-ented investigators have been recruited to join the insti-tute. Together, these investigators are addressingmany of the most challenging problems facing contem-porary molecular and behavioral neuroscience. Theirresearch promises to uncover fundamental mechanismsfor brain function and to reveal novel strategies andtargets for the treatment of nervous system disorders.

Network for Women in Science

The Network for Women in Science (NWiS) wasfounded in 2003 by graduate students, postdoc-toral fellows, and faculty members at Scripps

Research. Since its inception, NWiS has endeavored toprovide support, guidance, and opportunity for femalescientists at Scripps Research, to create awarenessof issues that affect the development and success ofwomen’s scientific careers, to promote diversity atScripps Research, and to make a positive difference inthe culture of science for the benefit of the entire sci-entific community. During the past year, NWiS has seensome big changes. A new executive committee of post-doctoral fellows and graduate students is now leadingthe group, with renewed enthusiasm in the original mis-sion, along with a few ideas of their own. A new monthlycoffee hour, open to the entire Scripps Research com-munity, serves as the centerpiece for NWiS activities.The aims of the coffee hour are to provide a friendlyenvironment for networking and opportunities to discusskey topics that affect the lives of all scientists and to drawon the knowledge and experience of fellow scientists.Successful graduate studies, the scientific peer-reviewprocess, discrimination, and industry networking areexamples of topics recently discussed. Participantsinclude Scripps Research staff at diverse points in theircareers, including graduate students, faculty, staff sci-entists, lab technicians, and industry representatives.

Dedicated to working closely with local professionalorganizations, including the Society of Fellows, theAssociation for Women in Science (a national organi-

zation), and the Kellogg School of Science and Tech-nology Distinguished Lecturer Series, NWiS recentlycollaborated with the Society of Fellows to host a gradu-ate student and postdoc mentoring luncheon. This eventprovided a forum for postdocs to meet and share theirexperiences with graduate students at Scripps Research.NWiS has also been an active participant in the processby which the graduate program at Scripps Research seeksreaccreditation by the Western Association of Schools andColleges, with NWiS members serving on committees thataddress personal and professional development of grad-uate students and postdoctoral scientists.

Upcoming events include a panel on alternativecareers in science and increased exploration of men-toring opportunities for young scientists. In particular,NWiS offers practice and coaching for committee meetingexaminations, as well as national and international meet-ings. Participation in NWiS is always up to the individ-ual, with no minimum level required.

NWiS expresses its appreciation to the KelloggSchool of Science and Technology, particularly JamieWilliamson, Marylyn Rinaldi, and Diane Kreger for theirenthusiastic support of our activities; Jan Hill and RyanWheeler of the Postdoctoral Services Office; and thefollowing faculty for their participation and support ofNWiS events: Bridget Carragher, Erica Ollmann Saphire,Sandra Schmid, and Kristin Baldwin.

Society of Fellows

The Society of Fellows is the oldest existing post-doctoral association in the nation. For its 46thyear, the Society held to its mission of fostering

scientific and social interaction among the ScrippsResearch community with an emphasis on improvingthe postdoctoral experience at Scripps.

The Distinguished Lecturer Series has continued toinvite the world’s most successful senior researchers toshare their career path and scientific experience withjunior scientists. This year we were honored to hostRandy Schekman (2002 Lasker awardee) from the Uni-versity of California, Berkeley, and Joe Goldstein (1985Nobel Prize winner for Physiology or Medicine) fromthe University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center.

The Fall Research Symposium is the only scien-tific meeting held at Scripps Research that gathersresearchers from all scientific areas (chemistry, struc-tural biology, immunology, experimental medicine, neu-robiology, cell and molecular biology). Reserved forthe presentation of unpublished work from postdoctoralresearchers, the 2007 edition was one of the most suc-cessful ever. More than 80 abstracts were submitted,and 12 of them were selected for oral presentation.This day brought together postdoctoral scholars, fac-ulty, and graduate students in an informal setting thatoffered a unique opportunity to learn about the latestand most exciting work at Scripps Research.

In collaboration with the Office of Postdoctoral Ser-vices at Scripps Research and offices from the SalkInstitute and the University of California, San Diego,the Society of Fellows contributed to the organization ofthe Lab Management Course held at the Salk Institute.

More than 100 postdoctoral scientists and young fac-ulty received training to help them lead innovative andproductive research programs. The society also hosteda series of seminars on funding and grant application,with speakers from major institutions, such as theNational Institutes of Health and the National Instituteof Allergy and Infectious Diseases, and experiencedresearchers who gave tips about the application andreview process. The Society of Fellows and the Officeof Postdoctoral Services also teamed up to offer sev-eral other professional development events in the pastyear, including an academic job search seminar in thefall, a Career Adventures Beyond the Bench panel inthe winter, and a panel on high school and communitycollege teaching careers for Ph.D.s in the spring.

This year also marked the establishment of linkswith the postdoctoral community at Scripps Florida. Withthe help of the Office of Postdoctoral Services, we areadvising postdoctoral researchers at Scripps Florida onhow to start their own association, have offered travelawards for the 2008 symposium, and will be sponsoringthe first speaker for their Distinguished Lecturer Series.

The Society also organized numerous popular socialevents to bring together scientists and staff outside oftheir laboratories: monthly happy hours held on cam-pus; the traditional Halloween party, which took placeon a boat cruising San Diego Bay; the annual summerbash at Canes Bar and Grill in Mission Beach; and theski trip to Big Bear mountain resort. All these eventsare renewed annually by popular demand and undoubt-edly strengthen the links between members of the ScrippsResearch community. To diversify the attendance at ourevents, we also sponsored and organized a wine tast-ing outing, a fishing trip to the Coronado Islands, and anight at the Del Mar race track. Once again, we renewedour financial support of the Mobility Pond, the ScrippsResearch drama group. Their brilliant performancebrought crowds to the Committee Lecture Hall and wasfollowed by a well-attended reception.

Finally, the vendor show was organized in May asour annual fundraiser. It was again a resounding suc-cess, bringing more than 100 vendors on the campusto showcase their latest technologies and services.

The executive committee of the Society of Fellowsexpresses its sincere gratitude to the Office of the Presi-dent and the Office of Postdoctoral Services at ScrippsResearch for their enthusiastic and continued supportof the society’s activities.
