Leader in Neurosurgery on Future of NIH Funding
NIH funding cuts could threaten U.S. medical research. A top neurosurgeon warns of risks to innovation and patient care.
Behind Every Breakthrough News
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.
