May 1, 2026 (San Diego) — Some of the most devastating diseases are driven by proteins that cannot be targeted with conventional drugs. Scientists are now discovering ways to control disease by recruiting the cell’s own machinery to tackle this challenge. In this free Front Row lecture, Associate Professor Michael Erb will take the audience inside the cell to explain how his team is developing “proximity” drugs. On May 20 at 4 p.m., Scripps Research will present the lecture both online and at its San Diego campus.
Erb’s innovation has implications to change how scientists and cells join forces to fight against breast, prostate and blood cancers. Join the Scripps Research lecture to learn how proximity drugs can eliminate proteins, rewire essential cellular pathways, and enable researchers to target previously “undruggable” proteins.
