Researchers have developed a system that blocks malaria transmission in mosquitoes, which continue to be the deadliest animals on Earth. The CRISPR-based gene-editing system changes a single molecule within mosquitoes, a tiny but effective change that stops the malaria-parasite transmission process.
A molecular pathway used by pancreatic cancer cells to adapt to stress and inflammation could lead to earlier detection and treatment of the deadly disease.
In just five years, the UC San Diego Herbert Wertheim School of Public Health and Human Longevity Science is redefining what it takes to be a public health professional. Its graduates are proof that public health isn't confined to hospitals or labs. It lives in city planning, data science and more.
The UC San Diego Altman Clinical and Translational Research Institute has expanded its clinical space, making room for more clinical trials that turn basic research into real-world medical treatments to improve human health.
Distinguished Professor Terrence Sejnowski, a pioneer in computational neuroscience who leads groundbreaking research on AI, has been selected to join two of the most prominent societies in the world: the Royal Society and the American Philosophical Society.
To celebrate training half a million San Diegans in CPR the UC San Diego Herbert Wertheim School of Public Health and Human Longevity Science and the County of San Diego Emergency Medical Services hosted a Revive & Survive San Diego hands-only CPR event on the beach.
