Celebrating Dr. John Chiplin

Throughout his career in biotechnology, John was a fervent advocate for science, research, and drug discovery. His dedication was not just to the advancement of knowledge, but to the profound belief that through science, we can forge paths to healing and bring hope to those facing life's most challenging diseases.

ALS is a devastating disease, almost like a black box, with no known treatment or cure. Within 6 months of his own unexpected diagnosis with ALS, John and a number of colleagues in the biotech community started championing the furthering of research surrounding this disease. Seeking the key to unlock the black box.

In lieu of flowers, we invite you to honor John’s legacy by contributing to ALS San Diego. When John and his family moved back from London to San Diego in early 2023, the care, community, and practical resources provided by ALS San Diego were invaluable. This association has truly made a difference in the Chiplin family’s life, and your donation will help them support other families and patients in need.
