Faculty Mentor Training Program Strengthens University’s Institutional Climate

January 11, 2022

A pioneering mentorship program at UC San Diego Health Sciences improved faculty satisfaction, especially among underrepresented faculty. The program serves as a successful model for other universities and medical schools looking to improve faculty diversity and success.

Scientists Expand CRISPR-Cas9 Genetic Inheritance Control in Mammals

January 11, 2022

UC San Diego biologists have developed a method for genetic inheritance control in male mice, an achievement that advances new laboratory models in an array of research pursuits, from investigations of human disease to therapeutic drug design to invasive species removal.

Ocean Physics Explain Cyclones on Jupiter

January 10, 2022

Hurtling around Jupiter and its 79 moons is the Juno spacecraft, a NASA-funded satellite that sends images from the largest planet in our solar system back to researchers on Earth. These photographs have given oceanographers the raw materials to describe the rich turbulence at Jupiter’s poles.Hurtli

Proposed Updates to Steel Building Standard Could Enhance Earthquake Resilience

January 7, 2022

Based on the results, documented in a NIST report, and a detailed analysis of the test data, researchers devised new limits for column slenderness, described in a paper published in the Journal of Structural Engineering last April.

‘Simple’ Bacteria Found to Organize in Elaborate Patterns

January 6, 2022

Researchers have discovered that communities of bacteria are far more advanced than previously believed. Scientists found that cells within these communities are organized in elaborate patterns, a feature previously associated with higher-level organisms such as plants and animals.

With $10 Million Gift, Darlene Shiley Builds Upon Her Husband’s Legacy

January 4, 2022

Marking its 30th anniversary and her enduring interest and support, philanthropist Darlene Shiley has given a $10 million gift for the clinical space expansion of the Shiley Eye Institute at UC San Diego Health.

Computer Model of Blood Enzyme May Lead to New Drugs for Cardiovascular Disease

January 3, 2022

Computer simulations from UC San Diego School of Medicine reveal the action mechanism and substrate specificity of an important blood enzyme. These findings open the door for new therapeutics against cardiovascular disease, and further support a unifying theory of phospholipase function.

When Mom Talks, Are Infants with ASD Listening?

January 3, 2022

Researchers at UC San Diego School of Medicine pinpoint the regions of the brain and neural mechanisms responsible for normal or impaired development of a child’s response to baby talk and why infants with autism do not typically respond well.

Long-Reads and Powerful Algorithms Identify “Invisible” Microbes

January 3, 2022

Researchers have shown that highly accurate, long-read genomic sequencing technology (HiFi), combined with advanced algorithms, can differentiate between nearly identical organisms, allowing researchers to more completely catalogue microbial communities.

‘Pop-up’ Electronic Sensors Could Detect When Individual Heart Cells Misbehave

December 23, 2021

UC San Diego engineers developed a powerful new tool that directly measures the movement and speed of electrical signals inside heart cells, using tiny “pop-up” sensors that poke into cells without damaging them. It could be used to gain more detailed insights into heart disorders and diseases.
