UC San Diego Receives Major ARPA-H Award to Map Key Hospital Network Dependencies Critical to Care

UC San Diego’s Center for Healthcare Cybersecurity has received an ARPA-H award to develop tools for mapping critical hospital network dependencies to expose vulnerabilities that threaten patient safety and national security.

UC San Diego Researchers Discover Why Chronic Low Back Pain Feels “Personal”

Chronic back pain flares activate the brain's "self network," linking pain to identity. Standard treatments often fail, but mindfulness meditation and psilocybin hold promise because they target the network, separating pain from the self.

Virtual Cells Built from 4D AI Models and “Digital Twins” Could Speed Up Drug Discovery

UC SanDiego researchers are using AI and "virtual cells" based on 4D movies to predict how cells will respond to drugs, which could speed up drug discovery for cancer, Alzheimer’s and more.

Blood Protein Linked to Lower Risk of Depression and PTSD After Traumatic Brain Injury

A new UC San Diego and San Diego VA study has found that U.S. Marines with higher natural anti-NMDAR1 antibody levels had ~25% lower depression and 22% lower PTSD symptoms after traumatic brain injury — a possible built-in resilience marker.

From Wearable Sensors to Printed Placentas

Maternal and fetal health researchers team up with engineers to improve pregnancy outcomes.

Unleashing Project CRASHCART

Expert team at UC San Diego aims to keep hospital systems running when cybercriminals attack.

UC San Diego Receives $12.3 Million Grant to Study the Intersection of HIV and Methamphetamine Use

UC San Diego has launched Brain-FRAMe, an innovative program integrating neuroscience and immunology to improve brain health and clinical care for people living with HIV and methamphetamine use disorder.

Scientists Uncover Cellular Mechanism Driving Both Rare Childhood Dementia and Alzheimer’s Disease

UC San Diego researchers have found a "genetic switch" triggering neurodegeneration in both a rare childhood dementia and Alzheimer's disease, pointing to new drug targets in the waste-processing system within the brain’s immune cells.

Personalized Gene Therapy Helps Teen with Rare Form of Severe Epilepsy Walk Independently

UC San Diego researchers and their colleagues designed short strands of DNA to target protein production by disease-causing mutations, dramatically reducing seizures and sparking developmental gains, helping one teenager walk independently.
