The future is shaped by those who push beyond what is known. At UC San Diego, we don’t just navigate change—we create it. Every breakthrough, every discovery starts with the courage to explore, to challenge, to redefine what’s possible. But even the boldest ideas need a foundation. Research requires resources, collaboration, and investment to turn possibility into reality. Without it, the unknown stays unknown. With it, we change the world.
UC San Diego bioengineers have shed new light on how a type of heart valve disease—aortic valve stenosis—progresses differently in males and females. The research paves the way for treatments that can be tailored to a patient's biological sex.
Researchers at UC San Diego have developed advanced deep learning techniques that could revolutionize treatment planning for breast cancer radiotherapy – making it faster and improving its quality.
After joining Rep. Scott Peters in Washington, D.C., Dr. Jim Brewer, chair of the Department of Neurosciences, is raising concerns about proposed NIH funding cuts. In this Q&A, he explains why sustained federal investment is essential to advancing Alzheimer’s research and more.
NIH funding cuts could threaten U.S. medical research. A top neurosurgeon warns of risks to innovation and patient care.
By assessing how “sticky” tumor cells are, UC San Diego researchers have found a potential way to predict whether a patient’s early-stage breast cancer is likely to spread. The discovery could help doctors identify high-risk patients and tailor their treatments accordingly.
UC San Diego engineers have developed a new computational approach to accurately model and predict the properties of a class of magnetic molecules called chiral helimagnets. Their work could accelerate the discovery of new materials for spintronics technologies.
