Mark your calendar for June 4, 2025, and join us for the 2025 Ross Prize Symposium: Protein Misfolding and Aggregation in Disease 🧬 This year’s event honors Jeffery W. Kelly, PhD, of Scripps Research, recipient of the Ross Prize in Molecular Medicine. Dr. Kelly is being recognized for his transformative contributions to our understanding of how protein misfolding and aggregation contribute to serious diseases like Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and cardiomyopathies—and for turning these insights into real-world therapies, including the development of tafamidis. Established in conjunction with The Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research at Northwell Health and BMC's Molecular Medicine, the Ross Prize celebrates scientists whose work has profoundly advanced the practice of medicine. Be part of the conversation at the leading edge of biomedical innovation and join us in celebrating a researcher whose discoveries are changing lives. Register now: https://bit.nyas.org/4jW5IQm (fb)
