Researchers from UC San Diego are working on a new treatment for Alzheimer's that targets tau - a type of protein in the brain that helps cells retain their stability and structure.
A team of researchers from UC San Diego has developed the first multiscale computational model to simulate the therapeutic mechanisms of a drug candidate for heart failure from the atomic level to the organ system scale.
Researchers at UC San Diego have shed new light on how the brain processes and synthesizes information. Findings help solve a longstanding mystery in neuroscience.
“I don’t think only about specific diseases or disorders, but also about how new technologies can promote or undermine health or mental health,” says Cinnamon Bloss, who holds positions at the UC San Diego including tenured professor and associate dean in the Herbert Wertheim School of Public Health and Human Longevity Science, associate director of the Institute for Empathy and Compassion, and Qualcomm Institute affiliate.
