Exploring Allyship at UC San Diego’s Virtual Triton Leaders Conference

January 20, 2022

Amplifying the voices and messages of marginalized communities. Showing up for others with care and intention. Taking the time to listen and learn new perspectives. There are many ways to be an ally, and at the upcoming Triton Leaders Conference, UC San Diego invites attendees to continue advancing this work to build a more equitable and inclusive world.

New Sensor Grids Record Human Brain Signals in Record-Breaking Resolution

January 19, 2022

A new array of sensors can record electrical signals directly from the surface of the human brain in record-breaking detail: 100 times higher resolution than today's clinical tools. This could improve neurosurgeons' ability to remove brain tumors safely and surgically treat drug-resistant epilepsy.

Two UC San Diego Computer Scientists Named as 2021 ACM Fellows

January 19, 2022

Two computer scientists from the University of California San Diego have been elected as fellows of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM). They are among the 71 new fellows recognized by the ACM, the world’s largest educational and scientific computing society.

Building Robust Collaborations to ‘ATTACK’ Future Pandemics

January 18, 2022

Six University of California campuses, in coordination with two national labs and more than one dozen industry partners, have formed the University of California-National Labs Antiviral Treatments Targeting All Coronaviruses and Key RNA viruses Consortium to prepare for and prevent future pandemics.

New Tool Assesses Evolutionary Risks of Antibiotics

January 18, 2022

Countering a rising antibiotic resistance crisis, doctors now prescribe combinations of antibiotics. Yet many risks are involved with such multi-drug combinations. Scientists have developed a way to help doctors evaluate outcomes for different drug pairs and boost the odds of successful treatment.

The University of California San Diego’s Holocaust Living History Workshop (HLHW) 2021-2022 series continues with five profound events that underscore this year’s theme, “Beyond the Great Silence: The Holocaust in Art, Memory, and Life.”

Genetic Strategy Reverses Insecticide Resistance

January 14, 2022

Using CRISPR/Cas9 technology, scientists have genetically engineered a method to reverse insecticide resistance. The gene replacement method offers a new way to fight deadly malaria spread and reduce the use of pesticides that protect valuable food crops.

Nuclei-free Cells Prove Utility in Delivering Therapeutics to Diseased Tissues

January 14, 2022

UC San Diego researchers report successfully removing the nucleus from a type of ubiquitous cell, then using the genetically engineered cell as a unique cargo-carrier to deliver therapeutics precisely to diseased tissues.Researchers at University of California San Diego School of Medicine and Moores

Biologists Pinpoint Key Factor in Immune System Response to Viral Infection

January 13, 2022

Researchers studying how small worms defend themselves against pathogens have discovered a gene that acts as a first-line response against infection. They identified “ZIP-1” as a centralized hub for immune response, a finding could have implications for understanding human immunity against viruses.
