2026 Issue: Health, Rewired
In this issue of Discoveries magazine, we explore the digital transformation across UC San Diego Health Sciences — through stories of breakthrough technologies, ethical frontiers and inventive collaborations — and what that means for faculty, students, clinicians and patients alike.
Today’s health care landscape rewards momentum: bold experimentation, rapid iteration and clear progress that signals both capability and vision. At UC San Diego, this isn’t just a core part of our tripartite mission — it is a defining strength.
