Meet Ph.D. Student Etienne Palos: First-Generation Chemistry Trailblazer

Etienne Palos is a fourth year UC San Diego Ph.D. student specializing in theoretical and computational chemistry in the lab of Francesco Paesani. The graduate student discusses his background, his experience as a Latinx student in STEM and more.

UC San Diego Computer and Data Scientists Named to ACM’s Latest Class of Fellows

UC San Diego bioinformatics researcher Vineet Bafna and machine learning and data analysis researcher Mikhail Belkin are among the 68 scientists worldwide named as Association of Computing Machinery (ACM) fellows.

Wearable Ultrasound Patch Enables Continuous, Non-Invasive Monitoring of Cerebral Blood Flow

Engineers at the University of California San Diego have developed a wearable ultrasound patch that can offer continuous, non-invasive monitoring of blood flow in the brain. The soft and stretchy patch can be comfortably worn on the temple to provide three-dimensional data on cerebral blood flow—a first in wearable technology.

Nearly 3% of Healthy Adolescents use Commercial CBD Products, Study Finds

Researchers at UC San Diego have found that nearly 3% of healthy adolescents use commercial CBD products, many of which contain higher levels of THC than advertised.

A New Gene-Editing System Tackles Complex Diseases

Current methods to model or correct mutations in live cells are inefficient, especially when multiplexing — installing multiple point mutations simultaneously across the genome. Researchers from the UC San Diego have developed new, efficient genome editing tools called multiplexed orthogonal base editors (MOBEs) to install multiple point mutations at once. Their work, led by Assistant Professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry Alexis Komor’s lab, appears in Nature Biotechnology.

Celebrating Two Years of Community and Civic Connections and Collaboration with UC San Diego’s Park & Market

In its first two years, UC San Diego Park & Market has established itself as a premier event, meeting and conference venue in downtown San Diego.

10 Best Spots to Study on Campus

With finals week on the horizon, consider breaking away from your usual routine to find a “new-to-you” study spot on campus. Here are 10 of UC San Diego Today’s most inviting picks.

Helping Transfer Students Thrive in Science

A four-week summer program at the University of California San Diego is designed to help incoming transfer students gain valuable research experience, meet peers and faculty, and build confidence before the school year starts. Launched last year as a pilot program, the Transfer Student Research Experience (T-Rex) program will start its second year this summer.

$21 Million Gift to UC San Diego Honors Unique Efforts to Link Chemical and Nano Engineering More Strongly

A $21M gift from Aiiso Yufeng Li (Jeff) and his wife, DongDong Li (Doreen), honors unique efforts at UC San Diego to link chemical and nano engineering more strongly. In recognition of this gift, the department will be named the Aiiso Yufeng Li Family Department of Chemical and Nano Engineering.

Detecting Odors on the Edge: Researchers Decipher How Insects Smell More with Less

While humans feature a sophisticated sense of smell, insects have a much more basic olfactory system. Yet they depend upon smell to survive. Scientists have figured out how fruit flies use a simple but efficient system to recognize odors, and the answer lies at the edges of their antennae.
