Renowned Surgeons Launch Acoustic Neuroma Program at UC San Diego Health

Health & Behavior

UC San Diego Health has expanded its treatment of rare brain tumors by launching a specialized program in the diagnosis and treatment of acoustic neuromas and complex skull base tumors. The new program will be led by Rick Friedman, MD, PhD, and Marc Schwartz, MD, internationally recognized authorities on the effective treatment of these challenging cases. Patients are currently being accepted into the program.

Scripps Scientists Use Photomosaic Technology to Find Order in the Chaos of Coral Reefs

Science & Environment

Scientists from the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego developed new technology to study coral reefs, by creating detailed 3D photomosaics and software that allows researchers to digitally classify corals. A new study in Coral Reefs used this technology to analyze the reef at Palmyra Atoll, where researchers made discoveries around coral spatial ecology.

A New Strategy for Prevention of Liver Cancer Development

Health & Behavior

Primary liver cancer is now the second leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide, and its incidences and mortality are increasing rapidly in the United Stated. In late stages of the malignancy, there are no effective treatments or drugs. However, an unexpected finding made by a team of University of California San Diego School of Medicine researchers sheds light on the development of a new strategy for prevention of liver cancer.

Speedy Collision Detector Could Make Robots Better Human Assistants

Science & Environment

A faster collision detection algorithm could enable robots to work more fluidly in the operating room or at home for assisted living. The algorithm, dubbed “Fastron,” runs up to 8 times faster than existing collision detection algorithms. It uses machine learning to help robots avoid moving objects and weave through complex, rapidly changing environments in real time.
