UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center is launching STRIPe (STudy of Real-world Individualized Precision-oncology) — a randomized Phase II clinical trial testing personalized, molecularly matched N-of-1 combination therapies against standard-of-care treatment.
The 2026 Legends of Science and Surfing brought together cancer researchers, clinicians, industry leaders, philanthropists and legendary surfers to support cancer research at Moores Cancer Center. Since 1994, the event has raised more than $14 million.
Researchers identified a previously overlooked pattern of DNA mutations in colorectal cancer. The pattern had been detected in large cancer-genome datasets before, but researchers had interpreted it as a combination of other, already known mutation patterns.
Moores Cancer Center at UC San Diego Health was a clinical trial site for ARC-20, the study behind a newly published finding that links the drug casdatifan to durable responses in patients with advanced kidney cancer.
Each August, the Thrivers Surf Team takes to the water at Scripps Pier as part of the Annual Legends of Science and Surfing, one of San Diego's most inspiring traditions of community, science and hope.
Bioengineers have developed a genome-scale reference map that details how individual genes control the functions and identities of human stem cells. This open-access resource could help researchers build virtual cell models for complex diseases and design patient-specific treatments for them.
