Hundreds of guests of the Friends of the Semel Institute gathered at the Beverly Wilshire Four Seasons Hotel on April 19 for the Great Minds Gala, which raised more than $1 million for the Friends Scholar Program. The program supports the research of young scientists at the Semel Institute for Neuroscience and Human Behavior as they work to develop innovative treatments for mental and neurological disorders.
