UC San Diego computer scientist Rose Yu is one of the MIT Technology Review’s Innovators Under 35 in this year’s list of “exceptionally talented young innovators” whose work has “the greatest potential to transform the world.”
An award-winning UC San Diego electrical engineering class is now offered to Chula Vista high school students right at their own school, during their school day, in an effort to expand earlier access to engineering concepts and skills.
OxyLo, Personal.ai, Wild Genomics and AirSurgical were among 25 university-powered startups that took center stage at San Diego's annual Innovation Day.

Plants widen microscopic pores on their leaves in response to heat. But scientists lacked an understanding of the mechanisms behind this “sweating” function. Now, biologists have unlocked the details behind these processes and identified two paths that plants use to handle rising temperatures.
UC San Diego researchers have created an array of nanopillars that can breach the nucleus of a cell—the compartment that houses our DNA—without damaging the cell’s outer membrane. This new "gateway into the nucleus" could open new possibilities in gene therapy, where genetic material needs to be delivered directly into the nucleus, as well as drug delivery and other forms of precision medicine.
