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.
Researchers observed turbulence in a pure environment without external interference. They discovered a sharp front separating turbulence from non-turbulent fluid, agreeing with earlier theory. However, their data about turbulence decay were not consistent with other theories.
Biological Sciences graduate student Ellie Fausett took an unusual path to her new passion project: Masterminding a new app that brings safety-minded people together with resources to keep them safe outdoors. Learn about her journey and the tool that’s helping people navigate insect disease risks.
The Expanse supercomputer at the San Diego Supercomputer Center has played an important role in helping researchers design the next generation of sodium batteries that could make large‑scale energy storage cheaper and more sustainable.
UC San Diego researchers uncovered why some people stay cognitively healthy despite Alzheimer’s-related brain changes, identifying a key pathway that may guide earlier detection and prevention.
