AI Harnesses Tumor Genetics to Predict Treatment Response

Cancer resists treatment in a multitude of ways, but a new algorithm developed by scientists at UC San Diego can decode them all simultaneously.

Transforming Clinical Recording of Deep Brain Activity with a New Take on Sensor Manufacturing

Sensors built with a new manufacturing approach are capable of recording activity deep within the brain from large populations of individual neurons–with a resolution of as few as one or two neurons–in humans as well as a range of animal models.

We Need a Staph Vaccine: Here’s Why We Don’t Have One

A vaccine for Staphylococcus aureus, one of the most common bacterial infections, would be a game changer for public health. No vaccine candidates have succeeded in clinical trials, but nobody knows why. Researchers at UC San Diego may have figured it out.

Innovative COVID-19 Analysis Supports Prevention Protocols in Health Care Settings

Advanced research and leading-edge tracing technology show infection prevention safety measures were effective in stopping viral spread at UC San Diego Health.

Lifesaving Practicum

Nina Weisbrod, a second-year Master of Public Health (MPH) student in the Public Mental Health concentration at the Herbert Wertheim School of Public Health and Human Longevity Science has taken a unique approach to her practicum project, combining a passion for music with a love of public health.

Students are gathering in front of a concert stage. They have their hands up as they listen to the music. They're screaming with their mouths open.

Researchers Discover Potential Microbiome Links to Skin Aging

Recent findings have identified an exciting potential new link to signs of skin aging—the skin microbiome, the collection of microorganisms that inhabits our skin. The results come from a collaborative study carried out by researchers at the UC San Diego Center for Microbiome Innovation.
