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.
Carbon markets do a pretty good job of rewarding projects for reducing or storing carbon but typically overlook other benefits, says UC San Diego School of Global Policy and Strategy economist Teevrat Garg.
Following a four-year study, scientists at UC San Diego’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography released a new report to determine if an early warning system could potentially detect a landslide before it happens.
Tiny particles made from the membranes of human immune cells could offer a promising new way to fight fungal infections that are becoming harder to treat. The antifungal nanoparticles target Candida albicans, a fungus responsible for oral and vaginal yeast infections and bloodstream infections.
At the Faculty AI Symposium in late May 2026, Chancellor Pradeep K. Khosla highlighted the power of UC San Diego’s faculty and the cutting-edge solutions they have built to integrate AI tools into their teaching and expand student learning rather than limit it.
A 2019 Australian bushfire provided a case study enabling researchers to consider whether the geoengineering technique called marine cloud brightening could diminish the destructive effects of major El Niño events in the future.
