More than 100 undergraduate students enrolled in UC San Diego’s new artificial intelligence major took their first major-specific course, CSE 25: Intro to AI, over winter quarter. The class aims to introduce AI principles that the students will see repeatedly over the next four years.
UC San Diego researchers have developed T1GRS, a machine‑learning model that accurately predicts genetic risk for Type 1 diabetes, paving the way for earlier diagnosis and more personalized treatment.
Scientists at UC San Diego’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography have uncovered new insights into the bioluminescence of a unique species of marine plankton that feeds on other plankton, including the harmful algae responsible for red tides and algal blooms.
A stick-on gel for plants could offer a simple, safe and targeted way to treat diseases and pests. It can be loaded with substances, such as medicines, and applied directly onto a plant to deliver those materials into its tissues. In tests, the gel was used to clear a plant's bacterial infection.
Bernhard Palsson builds computer models that help scientists make biology easier to predict — and easier to engineer. His work has influenced everything from microbe-made chemicals to cells used to produce therapeutic proteins and efforts to tackle antibiotic resistance.
UC San Diego has received a $13 Million grant from the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM) to investigate how RNA pollution drives neurodegenerative diseases and to develop novel therapies that protect the aging brain.
